City of Hawkinsville, Submerged steamboat wreck in Suwannee River, Florida.

The City of Hawkinsville is a submerged wooden steamboat resting in the Suwannee River near Old Town, now accessible to divers as an underwater archaeological preserve. The vessel sits at varying depths along the riverbed, allowing visitors to explore the remains of a historic river cargo ship from the 19th century.

The vessel was built in 1886 for the Hawkinsville Deepwater Boat Line and transported lumber and cargo along the river. It was abandoned in 1922 as river commerce declined and eventually sank, settling on the riverbed where it remains today.

The wreck joined Florida's Underwater Archaeological Preserve system in 1992 as its third site, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 31, 2001. Divers reach it 100 yards south of the Old Town railroad trestle, on the Nature Coast State Trail.

The wreck lies in the middle of the Suwannee, about 100 yards south of the Old Town railroad trestle on the Nature Coast State Trail. Diving requires advanced open water certification, and entering the hull is not permitted. Most of the vessel rests on a ledge and can be seen from the surface.
