Los Llanitos Wreck (Isla Navidad)
19° 10.7′ N · 104° 42.0′ W
The rusting hull of the 735 ft bulk carrier Los Llanitos, blown ashore during Hurricane Patricia in October 2015 on the coast southwest of Barra de Navidad — a stark reminder of what this coast can do in hurricane season.
Practical
Position from OpenStreetMap (charted as a wreck). Her 27 crew were rescued by military helicopter and the ship was declared a total loss. Give the wreck and the rocks around Punta El Viejo a wide berth when approaching Bahía de Navidad from the south.
