Ships are homes for hundreds of people when they're afloat, and then callously forgotten about when they sink. The Dixon Cove Wreck is yet another example, although mystery surrounds the circumstances behind its sinking in Roatan, Honduras.
Some say that it was overloaded with marble, and simply sank. Others swear that it was attacked and set on fire. The more plausible explanation is that it was used during the Nicaraguan Revolution, and is a victim of that conflict. It certainly looks battered.
