About this dive site
This dive site presents a fascinating wreck of a British ship that met its demise during the First World War. The vessel, sunk by German submarine U-64 in 1917 while traveling from Glasgow to Livorno, is now divided into two distinct sections. A significant portion of the hull remains intact, and notably, the area where the torpedo struck retains a remarkable feature – the ship's heart, specifically its steam boiler. This provides divers with an exceptional opportunity to witness a preserved piece of maritime history. While details regarding depth are limited, exploring this wreck offers a compelling glimpse into wartime naval operations.
