SS NICARAGUA

 | By Seamus on 4/22/2015 9:31:39 PM | Views (638)
SS NICARAGUA IS A SHIP THAT WAS SAILING IN THE GULF OF MEXICO WHEN IT RAN AGROUND ON PADRE ISLAND IN 1912. DURING THE NINETEENTH AND EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURIES, PADRE ISLAND WAS THE SITE OF A NUMBER OF SHIPWRECKS. "DEVIL'S ELBOW," ACTUALLY A POINT OF TIDAL CONVERGENCE AROUND MILEPOST 50 FROM MALAQUITE BEACH OF THE NORTH ISLAND, WRECKED MANY VESSELS. ONE OF THESE WAS THE NICARAGUA. THIS SHIP, BOUND FROM PORT ARTHUR, TEXAS FOR TAMPICO, MEXICO, WRECKED ON 16 OCTOBER 1912. THE STERN, ITS ENGINE, AND MASTHEAD OF THE VESSEL REMAINED VISIBLE OFF THE ISLAND FOR MANY YEARS, SERVING AS A LANDMARK FOR DOWN-ISLAND TRAVELERS. RUMORS HAVE ARISEN ABOUT THE GUN RUNNING AND ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES IT MIGHT HAVE PERFORMED, BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW ITS TRUE MISSION THAT OCTOBER EVENING. THE REMAINING SHIP STRUCTURE CAN EASILY BE SEEN AT LOW TIDE AND THERE IS EXCELLENT FISHING AROUND THE WRECK SITE.
