A sturdy iron-hulled steamer built in 1881. On February 22, 1886, she wrecked on the Western Reef while travelling from New Orleans to Bremen, Germany carrying a cargo of cotton and grain. Today, she remains fairly intact, but has collapsed onto herself and lies on her port side. The wreckage sits in 6M / 20FT of water, with her steamer boilers, propeller shaft and deck winches still visible. Within swimming distance of the Darlington are the buried remains of an unidentified Spanish galleon.
