The Produce is an old cargo vessel that was allegedly carrying molasses. The Produce was traveling from Durban, headed south when it struck the Aliwal Shoal in 1974.
The produce is 119m long and lies facing North. She has come to rest on her starboard side and her back is broken leaving her midships very flat and scattered. (She is facing the Umkomaas River). Her propeller has been salvaged, however her spare prop can be seen on her bow. The produce ship wreck sits on the sand a little way before the Shoal at a depth of between 30 & 32 meters. She sank in August 1974 and is hence a fairly new wreck
