About this site
The wreck of the Kenowa lies in the waters around Tulagi Island in the Florida Islands (Nggela) group, Central Province, Solomon Islands, a harbor that saw heavy shipping traffic during the Solomon Islands campaign of World War II and now holds several wrecks from that period. Divers here have reported broad-banded shrimpgobies, Clark's anemonefish, freckled goatfish, spotfin squirrelfish, and yellow mesh sea stars living around the hull. The wreck sits alongside a broader scattering of wartime wrecks in these waters, drawing divers interested in both the region's naval history and its reef life.
