One of the most unusual places on the entire island of Curacao is the site of the sunken cargo ship Superior Producer. A tragedy happened close to the coast of the island.
For many years, Superior Producer transported goods to European countries. But the last place where it moored was the port in Curacao.
On a sunny day on September 30, the cargo ship went under. People dragged it to the side because Superior Producer hindered other ships. Since then, the ship is located on the bottom of the Caribbean Sea. It is one of the most famous sights of the island.
A large number of divers come to Curacao every year to dive into the waters of the Caribbean Sea. They want to explore the ancient ship after diving, you swim a few meters and see a huge black shadow in the shape of a ship. Of course, it is just a shadow. But it makes you feel so uncomfortable. It seems that you are in a horror movie ...
You come closer to the ship, its outlines become distinct. Now, you see an incredible view of the ship sunk many years ago. It was transformed into perfect underwater houses for all the species of marine flora and fauna. The ship is a natural habitat for sea eels, who have chosen it as a wonderful shelter for their hunt. For more than thirty years, Superior Producer has been located underwater.
When you see Superior Producer, the first thing that comes to mind is the famous Titanic and its tragedy. You touch the history, see it, and feel it with every fiber.
The proximity of Superior Producer to the island is very good for diving. It is located only 150 meters from the coast. It allows seeing a real underwater miracle for a small charge.
On a tragic day, when Superior Producer sank, it delivered a Christmas cargo to Curaçao: whiskey, perfume, clothes, bags. The workers were unloading the cargo in the wrong way. The ship tilted on one side. The ship’s team realized that it could go underwater. The workers were trying to detach the cargo, but it was a wasted effort.
Superior Producer sunk with all the goods. The news got around the island quickly. The locals were diving underwater. In just three days, the sunken cargo was plundered.
