  The Shark Elm or Shake Em is a recent casualty, sinking in 2001 and has the possibility of plenty of penetration. She was carrying a cargo of concrete at the time. Apparently her cargo shifted in rough seas and the ship capsized and went down. Today the Shark Elm sits upright in approx 99' of water. Divers can see both of her anchors in the bow and cargo crane amidships. Divers can also penetrate the wrecks interior to her cabin decks, generator room and even engine room. Gerald Kreutzer writes that The deck (with the huge concrete filled cargo hole) is at about 80 feet. It sank when the cargo shifted as a result of being overloaded, whilst in sight of the harbour. The ship lies upright, both anchors are down with the anchor chains still connected and there is a crane midships. If you drop onto the stern it is possible to work your way through the cabin decks and down into the lower rooms. On the second deck there is a generator room at the rear, but it is dark down here so a torch is essential. The entrance to the engine room is on the starboard, holding a large engine and some tool kits.
