Best of Mike #134

One of the deck fittings on the MV Captain Keith Tibbets.... a well known wreck off the north shore of Cayman Brac.

Originally, the ship sat upright on the bottom with the stern in 40ft of water and the bow at 90ft.

But Hurricane Ivan (in 2004) broke it in half.... and laid the forward section over on it's port side.

Commissioned Destroyer #356, this Russian Brigadier Class Frigate was built in 1984 .... for the Cuban navy.

Cayman Brac bought this 330ft vessel, renamed it the Captain Keith Tibbets, in honor of a local dive operator .... and sunk it as an artificial reef in 1996.
