SS ''Arratoon Apcar'' was an iron-hulled steamship built in 1861 for the Apcar Line. She ran ashore on Fowey Rocks off the coast of Florida on 20 February 1878, and later sank. Today the wreck is a good location for scuba diving. ==Construction and service== SS ''Arratoon Apcar'' was built in Renfrew, Scotland by James Henderson and Son. The ship was powered by a 250 hp steam engine, with an iron hull. She was long, wide and had a displacement of 1,480 tons. She was launched on 27 June 1861. She was named after the founder of Apcar and Company of Bombay, India, for whom she was built. In 1872 the Apcar family purchased a considerably larger ship that they also called ''Arratoon Apcar'', selling the older ship to H.F. Swan Company. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「SS Arratoon Apcar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
