SS Arratoon Apcar was an iron-hulled sail and steam merchant ship that was built in Scotland in 1861 and wrecked off the coast of Florida in 1878.
[6] In February 1878 Arratoon Apcar was en route from Liverpool, England to Havana, Cuba with a cargo of coal.
[1] On 17 February 1878 she grounded on Fowey Rocks off of Hawk Channel, due to a miscalculation by her Master, Captain Pottinger.
[7] The Fowey Rocks Light was being built at the time, and construction workers were camped on a platform on the new screw pilings for the lighthouse.
[7] The wreck now tentatively identified as the Arratoon Apcar was known for many years as Arakanapka,[10] and is so called in books[11] and on various dive-related web sites.
[7] Arratoon Apcar is one of five historic wrecks in the Biscayne National Park "Shipwreck Trail".
