Regulus
was a coastal freighter laid down by Unie Scheepsbouw in
Groningen, and was launched in 1950 for the Dutch company
Slobben & Hoving N.V. She changed name and owners
several times before she ended up sailing for Hugh Bailey
as Inganess Bay in 1987. Under the hurricane Bertha she
drifted and ran aground at Road harbor 8.July 1996, but
was re-floated and towed out to Copper Island where she
scuttled as an artificial reef by the British Virgin
Islands Divers Association 16. August 1996. The
wreck rest today south of Copper Island on a depth of 20
to 28 meter resting on her keel like a classic Donald Duck
wreck.
