The Frangista Barge, also known as the "Hopper Barge" and the "Walton Barge",  is a 195’ long hopper barge located about 9 miles east of the Destin East Pass. It was sunk on June 30, 1999 along with 100 tons of steel ballast. It is sitting upright on a sandy bottom in 80 ft of water, running east/west with the bow pointing west. The sides of the barge have completely collapsed and are lying almost flat on the bottom. The port side has a bit more vertical development than the starboard side, but neither is more than 2’ off the bottom. The stern rises about 25 off the bottom and the flat bow sticks up about 15 feet.
