The RMS Rhone was a British packet ship owned by the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company. She was wrecked off the coast of Salt Island in the British Virgin Islands on October 29, 1867 during a hurricane. She was split in two and sunk directly off of Black Rock Point. Her bow now lies in about 80 feet of water while her stern is in about 30. Over one hundred passengers and crew were lost. Today she is one of the Caribbean`s most popular scuba diving sites, and a park has been created around the wreck.
