The 9,000-dwt freighter Onego Traveller sank in shallow water off the southern tip of Great Abaco near Hole-in-the-Wall in late December 2022 - her cranes still stand above the sea, a navigation hazard on the rounding between Little Harbour, Schooner Bay and Sandy Point.

About 1.4 nm south of Hole-in-the-Wall light. Locals said salvors were slowly dismantling it (2023) - the wreck's present state is unknown. Maritime Executive (Jan 2, 2023): Antigua and Barbuda flag, cargo of steel and ferric sulfate plus fuel oil; all 12 crew rescued. Not a sanctioned dive site; give it a wide berth, especially at night.
