The Hebe and St. Cathan are also known as the Twin Cities Wreck. The Hebe was a Dutch merchant vessel and the St. Cathan was a British subchaser. The two ships collided during black out conditions in 1942.
They are now two of the South Carolina's most popular shipwrecks for advances divers. They are 1/4 mile apart in 90-110 feet of water. There are artifacts, tropical and game fish as well as sand tiger sharks in the spring and fall. A full day trip for $115 a person.
The Rariton is a 251-ft. steel freighter which ran aground off Frying Pan Shoals, N.C., in 1942. It is broken into two pieces in 90 feet of water. The bow and stern are intact. This is for experienced divers and costs $110 for a full day trip.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
