Teignmouth Electron Wreck (Cayman Brac)

19° 41.2′ N · 79° 52.6′ W

The rotting hull of Donald Crowhurst's trimaran from the 1968 Golden Globe race, abandoned in the scrub on Cayman Brac; a pilgrimage for sailors who know the story.

Practical

Wikipedia coordinates (19 41 10.7N, 079 52 37.9W) near the south-west end of the island. Virgintino deliberately does not say where it is so you have an excuse to explore. Treat it as a fragile relic: look, photograph, do not climb or take pieces.
