Beveridge Reef

Beveridge Reef (Niuean: Nukutulueatama) is a mostly submerged, unpopulated atoll located in the Exclusive Economic Zone of Niue. It has been the cause of several fishing boats running aground or sinking.

Characteristics

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. The reef is normally submerged, with a small part visible at low tide.

Wrecks

The reef is the site of frequent shipwrecks:

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