About this site
The Lugano is a shipwreck on the Maritime Heritage Trail in Biscayne National Park off Miami, lying in about 25 ft (7.6 m) of water. She was a 350 ft (107 m) iron-hulled cargo steamship built in 1882, and she sank in 1913 when she ran aground on Long Reef.
She is a good dive and a good snorkeling site, and with her age showing she has become a nice artificial reef. Angelfish are common on the Maritime Heritage Trail wrecks.
