British Virgin Islands
The RMS Rhone Marine Park is a national marine park in the British Virgin Islands, centered on the wreck of the steamship RMS Rhone, which sank in a hurricane in 1867.
Established in 1980 as the British Virgin Islands' first marine national park, the protected area lies in the channel between Salt Island and Dead Chest Island. The wreck lies in two main sections at depths of roughly 6 to 26 metres and is encrusted with corals and sponges providing habitat for reef fish. Additional dive sites within or near the park include Blonde Rock, Painted Walls, and Rhone Reef. Anchoring and fishing are prohibited within the park.
