The Beveridge Reef is a coral atoll that is approximately 147 miles (237 km) from Niue and 520 miles (840 km) from the Cook Islands.[1][2][3] The reef is normally submerged,[4] with a small part visible at low tide.[1][5]

Wrecks Edit

The reef is the site of frequent shipwrecks:[6]

  • in 1918, the schooner James H. Bruce, [7]
  • the Nicky Lou of Seattle, a fiberglass hulled fishing vessel that ran aground on the reef, can be seen on the reef.[8][9]
  • in 2017, the catamaran Avanti.[10][11]
