(Depth 17m - 28m)

Completed in 1893, the ship served in the Spanish-American war, the Chinese revolution, and WW1. She was decommissioned in 1933 and was placed in Olongapo port as the 'Station ship' and was used to generate electricity for the base. No longer mobile, the ship was scuttled by US forces to prevent the massive 10-inch guns from falling into the Japanese hands when they arrived in December 1941.

She lies on her port side in 27m of water, with the upper parts at 17m. The wreck is largely intact except for the blast zone on the starboard side. The wreck is 118m long.

The main deck holds the two massive 10-inch sets of turret-guns, both fully intact, one to the front and one to the rear. The bridge has been lost. The starboard propeller stands proud at 26m. The gun deck has easy access through many gun ports. Penetration into the boiler rooms and engine room is possible, but is suitable only for experienced wreck divers. Access is difficult, silting is heavy so safety margins are small.

The wreck is home to a giant barracuda, snappers, lionfish, spotted sweetlips, groupers, lobsters, octopus, eagle ray, blue spotted rays and the upper parts are covered with a myriad of small fish species.

This wreck is best dived on Nitrox 36% for extended bottom times.
