Built in 1877, the Madiana was a new breed of iron-hulled transatlantic passenger/light cargo ship. On February 10, 1903, while en route from New York to the West Indies with passengers and a general cargo, she struck a reef northeast of North Rock. The wreck was partially salvaged in World War II. Her engine is gone, but her twin boilers are still there and her stern overhangs into a sand hole. She sits in 7.5M / 25FT of water on a hard coral bottom, .33KM / 1MI from the Caraquet.
