The SS Atlantus is a concrete shipwreck that rests partially submerged near Sunset Beach in Cape May. Built during World War I as part of an experimental fleet, the ship ran aground in 1926 and has since become a popular photographic subject. Visitors can view the wreck from the beach at low tide, capturing its rusting hull against the backdrop of the Delaware Bay.
