Map of Abandoned Ship in Pokémon Emerald
Abandoned Ship exterior (in-game map)

The Abandoned Ship, once called the S.S. Cactus, lies wrecked on Route 108 between Dewford Town and Slateport City. Its decks hold a few trainers, a locked Storage room on B1F and, in the Captain's Office, a researcher working for Captain Stern. A flooded lower section leads to a hidden floor, reached only with Dive, where a chain of room keys leads to several items including the Scanner.
