This barge was actually used to transport molasses from the Caribbean to a New York distillery to make rum. Molasses is a thick syrup by-product from the processing of the sugarcane or sugar beet into sugar.
One of the oldest sites in the reef, the Molasses barge is falling apart and opening up, and the fish love it.
