North Bar Channel Barge Wreck
26° 23.4′ N · 76° 58.8′ W
A sunken barge and a piece of construction equipment sit on the edge of the reef just south of North Bar Channel, visible from a distance at high tide.
Practical
A hazard, not an attraction: stay on the Explorer Chart route through North Bar Channel and well clear. Position is the ActiveCaptain obstruction marker (reports 2018-2019). ActiveCaptain community reports date from 2011-2019, before Hurricane Dorian (Category 5, Sept 1, 2019) hit Abaco; re-check bottom, markers and businesses locally.
