OL Bodenhamer Steel Liberty Ship

The OL Bodenhamer is a massive 450-foot Liberty Ship, sunk on May 14, 1976, now resting at a depth of 365 feet with 32 feet of vertical relief. As one of the largest artificial reef structures off the Florida coast, it creates an impressive deepwater habitat that consistently holds bait and attracts trophy-class pelagics. The wreck is a magnet for species like Blackfin Tuna, Amberjack, and deepwater Grouper, making it a prized destination for serious offshore anglers. Ideal for vertical jigging and deep drifting, the OL Bodenhamer’s remote location and extreme depth mean minimal fishing pressure and high reward potential for those equipped to reach it. Its sheer size and structure make it one of the most productive and historically significant wrecks in South Florida's offshore waters.
