The Ulysses was en route from London to Penang when she ran into the reef at Small Gubal Island on 16th August 1887. She was carrying an assortment of cargo – much of which was unloaded at the time of her sinking. However, some large cable drums sank with her and remain at the site to this day.

She lies at a depth of 28m and you can swim inside the stern. Glassfish and sweepers populate the wreck. Other reef life to be seen in the vicinity includes anthias, bannerfish and butterflyfish.
