About this site
King George, also called the Dredger, is a wreck in Bermuda that rests upright and intact in 60 feet (18 m) of water. She is 171 feet (52 m) long.
Lobnitz and Co. built her in Glasgow in 1910 as one of three dredgers commissioned by the Bermuda Government to deepen harbour channels for visiting ships. She arrived in Bermuda on 28 June 1911 and began dredging Town Cut at St George's to 30 feet. She was later refitted to dredge an additional 4 feet, and she stayed in service until the Lord Cochrane replaced her in 1930, when larger vessels demanded deeper access.
The wreck today. Her ladders, catwalks, engines and holds remain accessible to divers. Coral and reef fish cover the structure, along with lobsters, octopus and the occasional seahorse.
