Description: The vessel is relatively in tact with the boilers, mast, bow and stern all visible from the surface. The wreck lies parallel to the beach in Vetches’ harbour. The sea ward side is well preserved but is submerged in sand. The leeward side is broken up and is home to many juvenile butterfly and angle fish. There are resident lion fish and scorpion fish that predate on the shoals of juvenile fish on this wreck.
Depth: 7m
Additional Information: This wreck lies at the entrance to Vetches harbour and very close to the new North Pier of the harbour mouth. Most of the skippers that launch their boats from the mini harbour are unaware of the existence of this wreck and therefore special care needs to be taken when diving on this wreck, so as not to be run over by a boat. Always dive with a buoy and do not surface if you hear a ski boat approaching.
