There was on in St. Thomas that I snorkled over.

It was a boat they used to bring Cocaine into the states.

Answer 2

The Farne Islands off Bamburgh, Northunberland and St Abbs just north of the Scottish border from Berwick upon Tweed. Both areas are popular diving sites because of the wrecks and the clarity of the water.

Answer 4

Montana  32º 21.817'N, 64º 54.812'W.

The vessel was intended for operation as a blockade runner supplying Confederate Forces in the American Civil War. It was on its maiden voyage from London, headed ultimately for Wilmington in North Carolina. She was carrying cargo from Britain to help the Confederates. Britain could not be seen to be directly aiding the Confederates, hence various levels of secrecy were used for this and similar vessels. For example, at the time she was using an assumed name of Nola, a ruse to help avoid the attention of Union forces. She had used at least two other names at various times, namely the Gloria, and Paramount.

Captain Pittman was in command of the vessel, and saw her safely across a rough Atlantic Ocean as far as Bermuda, where Pittman planned to stop to take on coal before departing for Wilmington. The ship hit the reef of Bermuda's north shore, in an area known as the Western Blue Cut on 30 December 1863.

Once the vessel was known to be in distress, a boat from St Georges was sent to the scene, and whilst much of the cargo and the entire crew was saved, the Montana was lost, mostly due to a large gash in her side of over ten feet.
