Many years ago now National Geographic did an article about the islands and had a picture of the Antilles' hulk in it. She was sitting on a reef with her back broken and by the time was picture was taken she was a rusty hulk. I am sure if you hunt you can find the issue of the magazine. I have not been in the area in years but I would suspect by know she is gone, but if you went there you might find something but not much.
I have a photograph of the Antilles wreck which I took in 1988 from Mustique with the island of Bequia in the background. She gradually disappeared from view over the following years. Locals tell me that she burnt for months after being grounded after she had caught fire. Two locals who managed to board her got to the pursers office and retrieved a safe. Sadly all the contents were charred when they finally managed to open it. teesmith55
