Wreck Dive
City Of Atlanta, Cape Hatteras, North Carolina
View Original Description
The City of Atlanta rests in about 90 feet of water due east of Buxton, North Carolina. After the ship sank, it was considered a navigational hazard and wired dragged; therefore, today the site consists predominantly of a large debris field. However, the engine and boilers are prominent amidships with the prop shaft running aft to the propellers. A large circular structure, part of the ship's steering mechanism, is the most characteristic feature at the stern. While the site is generally flattened, there are three areas of high relief: the boilers, bow and stern sections.
