The
American destroyer USS Tucker hit a mine in Segond
Channel outside Espirito Santo in Vanauto 3. October
1942 after a journey from Fiji to Espirito Santi. The
day before Segond Channel had been mined, but this
information was not given to the crew on Tucker. After
the accident she went adrift, and later she was towed to
shallow waters and beached. There has been a lot of
salvaging on the wreck, and today the wreck rest in two
parts on a depth of 15 to 20 meter outside Aore Island.
