About this site
PC-1174 is a 165 ft (50 m) military patrol craft off Palm Beach County, Florida. She was commissioned as the USS Fredonia, a PC-461 class submarine chaser, and was sunk as an artificial reef in 1968.
The wreck rests upright in two sections in about 90 ft (27 m) of water. She is part of the Mizpah Corridor, a line of wrecks linked by trails of rock and concrete rubble. She lies about 100 yards north of the Mizpah, and further north a rock pile path leads on to the Amaryllis.
The current usually runs north, so divers drift along the corridor from one wreck to the next, and the current is medium here.
