The MV ILE DE SERK was blown ashore during hurricane Hugo on the 17th of September 1989. She remained beached there until 1991 when she was hauled off the beach by HMS Fearless and towed about three miles offshore and sunk using anti tank missiles to be used as a dive site. Not sure if she is still being dived on today. You can find quite a detailed account of her life and fate on this page:

Hope that helps you.

When I came back some years later, all the seafront had been cleaned up and I wondered what was happened to the wrecks.
Do you know the fate of ILE DE SERK which was aground not far ?
