USS Liberty Wreck

Tulamben · Indonesia

A WWII US Army cargo ship torpedoed in 1942 and pushed into the sea by the 1963 Mount Agung eruption. The 120 m hull now rests parallel to shore between 5 and 30 m, encrusted in soft coral and sponges. Beach entry makes it one of the most accessible major wrecks in the world.
