About Markham

The Markham is a US Army Corps of Engineers dredge that was sunk in the Artificial Reef area AR-386 close to the Hyde dredge. The dredge is 320 feet in length and lies inverted on its port side. The starboard prop, strut and rudder are favorites of photographers. The deck may be penetrated by trained wreck divers, and is unsuited for amateurs.
