Delray Wreck is a site offshore in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Delray Beach. It is the site of the sinking of the steamship SS Inchulva during a hurricane in 1903.[1] Nine men died in the accident. The wreck is located about 150 yards (140 m) offshore.[2] It is now a popular dive site.[3][4] A historical marker now stands on the city's multi-use path commemorating the wreck.[5]
