S.S. ROSEHILL |
|
Part salvaged and well broken but a terrific dive. The Japanese gun is still to be seen on the stern and the engine is still pretty well untouched under a big plate. |
|
S.S. PERSIER |
|
Launched as the War Buffalo, a World War 1 standard “B” class ship, 5,030 tons, L.O.A. 412 feet. Suffered a chequered career culminating in a tragic sinking in Bigbury Bay. As the crew took to the lifeboats the propeller started turning and smashed some of the boats. She now lies on her port side in about 28 metres. |
|
OREGON |
|
A sailing ship first known as the 1875 because that was embossed on the ship’s wheel. Now identified as the Oregon, she signalled “all’s well” at the signal station, and then sank without trace until the late ‘60s. Fascinating dive, 33 metres. |

MEDOC |
|
For the more experienced diver, this large wreck stands high off the bottom in 55 metres. She was an ammunition ship, hit by a bomb, the account of the attack makes fascinating reading. When you get down there it’s obvious which end the bomb hit! |
|

|
One of the famous ‘Castle’ paddle steamers of the River Dart Steamboat Company. Sank whilst on tow to Plymouth in the late sixties, mostly intact, paddle frames visible, 44 metres. |
