Carthaginian II was a replica whaling ship that operated as a museum in Lahaina Harbor, offering visitors a glimpse into 19th-century whaling life. In 2005, the ship was intentionally sunk to create an artificial reef. Today, the wreck is a premier dive site, where divers can swim through the structure and see coral and fish.
