Plane

 

Above the cargo of rock and the crane lies a plane. Said to be a four engine but not sure about that. There's also a smaller radial engine at one end so perhaps there are more engines but probably a dumping ground. Does appear to be upside down but very smashed up and strewn with rubbish. We have zero interest in planes but I did quite enjoy rummaging about in this underwater junkyard.

Hounds saved from the ship

HMT Agate

 All that remains on the seabed is some indistinguishable pieces of hull plate and other random pieces plus a large rope. It's been blown up, several times by the looks of it.  Hydrographic reports confirm this. 

Certainly not an interesting dive or one you'd want to do twice but It's still just about hanging in there and not much time left before it finally disappears under the sand.

Armed with a 6pdr it was mined 1918.

Foam Queen

Although nothing has been recovered that positively identifies it as Foam Queen, the position — close to two other ships lost in the same convoy, SS Storra and SS Dona Isobel — plus the fact we were looking for a ship that had its stern blown off and carried a 12‑pdr gun, makes this a pretty safe bet.

Although we haven't located the gun or the engine it's likely to be in the area as wreckage is strewn about. Quite how intact any of it is after being hit by a torpedo remains to be seen. I'm sure our stalker will be out there looking for it and hopefully getting his stern blown off as well.

Unknown Buried wreck

 

After spending ten minutes swimming around looking for whatever had appeared on the sounder, I realized I was actually over a raised section of seabed. As I kept searching, pieces of metalwork began to appear, some resembling cannons at first glance. After breaking off the concretion, it turned out to be just cast iron pipe, but there was all sorts of ironwork hidden just beneath the sand.

Worth another look

Unknown Trawler (Rye)

No name for this trawler but artifact recovered dates it to the 1940's possibly late 40's . Diesel engine. Couple of portholes and some nice glass cases for the batteries.

Slate Wreck2

 

Another slate wreck and again it's almost impossible to say which ship it was. Silty site . Wood is well preserved under the silt. No clues unfortunately.
