The Carthaginian was a replica of a 19th-century whaling ship that served as a floating museum in Lahaina Harbor, educating visitors about Hawaii's whaling history. After its sinking, the wreck became an artificial reef and popular dive attraction. Divers can explore the remains, which rest on the ocean floor and are home to marine life.
