English (Übersetze diesen text in Deutsch): Rig: Cargo freighter
Dimensions: 120 x 30
Launched: 1943
Lost: 4 April 1975
Cause: Fire
Loss of life: 2 (an unknown number of crew member did survive unharmed)
Depth: 35 fsw
Cargo: Beer, gasoline, diesel, cement mixers, and a jeep.

The Soto Trader made its final voyage on Friday, 4 April 1975, bound from Grand Cayman to Cayman Brac, and stopped at Little Cayman. At least one source�s narrative of the sinking blamed stupidity and alcohol, implicitly on the crew�s part, as contributing factors to the cause of the fire. While at anchor in The Flats, her crew was pumping diesel into 55-gallon barrels which would later be transported by small boats to the island for local generators. Some of the diesel had leaked onto her decks and ignited from a spark, quickly engulfing the vessel. One crew member died of burns almost immediately; Another lived through being transported to a hospital on Cayman Brac and passed away two hours later. The rest of her crew escaped injury. The Soto Trader burned from 15:00 until 07:00 Saturday morning. Sometime after that the wreck was towed out of the Flats to its final resting place. The wreck is upright with three cargo doors on her main deck, all open. Inside her holds are some remains of her cargo. There is a crane mounted amidship with the boom facing bow to stern. Surrounding the wreck is a soft sandy bottom. About 200 m away are some coral heads.
