It is just {{convert|76.0|mi|km}} north of the coast of Puerto Rico at Punto Palmas Altas in Manatí.[2][3] This ocean floor feature is named for the USS Milwaukee (CL-5), a U.S. Navy Omaha class cruiser, which discovered the Milwaukee Deep on February 14, 1939 with a reading of {{convert|28680|ft|m}}.[4][5] On August 19, 1952, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife vessel Theodore N. Gill obtained a reading of {{convert|28560|ft|m}} at ({{coord|19|36|N|68|19|W}}), virtually identical with the Milwaukee{{'}}s reading. The existence of deep water to the Atlantic Ocean side of the Caribbean has been known for more than a century. One of the area's earliest soundings was obtained June 12, 1852 by Lt. S. P. Lee, U.S. Navy brig Dolphin, with a reading of {{convert|22950|ft|m}} at ({{coord|26|32|N|60|06|W}}).[6] See also
