The Cannabis Cruiser, often referred to as "Pot Wreck", is located three miles west of Alligator Light in 110 feet of water. In the late 1970's, this 75 foot trawler was bringing drugs in to the United States when observation by the Coast Guard caused the crew to abandon ship and sink the vessel with the cargo aboard. When the ship was later discovered, it was completely intact still containing the electronic equipment as well as several 20 to 30 pound bails of marijuana.

Today, the ship is still mostly intact and sits upright. Divers generally report that the area contains sea life including hogfish, angles, grouper, jacks, and the occasional visit from a shark.
