Shipwreck · Hatteras Island, North Carolina
Liberator
An American freighter sunk by a U-boat off Cape Hatteras on 19 March 1942. NOAA grades this position Low, within about a mile. The dive lists put her about 15 km to the east-south-east in 100 to 110 ft, close to where NOAA records the freighter Tenas, so treat this position and depth as uncertain.
