Additional Information
English (Translate this text in English): Dutch frigate, originally named the Jason, launched in 1770. In 1796, the crew mutinied and handed the ship over to the British, who renamed the ship HMS Proselyte. In September of 1801, on a trip from St Kitts to St Martin, the ship struck the Man O War Shoals and sank. All of the crew were rescued, however.
You can still see a couple of large anchors, some cannons and other heavily encrusted objects on the sea floor, right below the current mooring. Plenty of wildlife in around the reef. If you're lucky you may even encounter one or two Caribbean Reef sharks prowling the canyons.
