The Kylemore (Wreck)(en)United_Kingdom / England / Sheringham interesting placeA veteran of minesweeping duties in both world wars, the 319 ton paddle-steamer Kylemore was built at Port Glasgow by Russell & Co in 1897 and worked as a passenger steamer on the Clyde. Her owner then was Captain Alex
The St Dunstan (Wreck)(en)United_Kingdom / England / Bridport interesting placeSome idea of the threat to Britain's survival in World War One caused by German torpedoes and mines can be gained from the fact that the 200ft-long St Dunstan, built as a bucket-dredger in 1894, had to be requisitioned and
The Doris (Wreck)(en)United_Kingdom / Scotland / Portree interesting placeCaptain Arentz lost his 1381 ton Norwegian steamer Doris because he made the same mistake as many others before him. He thought that the mist which hung right down over the waters of the Little Minch off the Western Isles
The St Chamond (Wreck)(en)United_Kingdom / England / Hayle interesting placeGetting troops, ammunition and other supplies from the French ports to the trenches of the Western Front, ready for the "Big Push" against the Germans planned for summer 1918, was a nightmare for British Army planners.

Captain Edward Whitehouse used that top speed to dodge the
The Rondo (Wreck)(en)United_Kingdom / Scotland / Tobermory shipwreck"Up and over" was how the 2363 ton Rondo met her end. There is nothing else like it in wreck records, because she scraped across an entire island to reach her final resting place, writes Kendall McDonald. Built in Tampa
The Lord Stewart (Wreck)(en)United_Kingdom / England / Torquay interesting placeWith three Royal Navy patrol ships clustered protectively around him, Captain James Hardy of the 1445 ton armed merchantman Lord Stewart could be forgiven for thinking his ship was safe. So she was - until she reached the west end
The Christensen (Wreck)(en)United_Kingdom / England / North_Sunderland interesting placeEvery wreck-diver knows the Longstone. The lighthouse there in the Farne Islands is forever linked with the names of Grace Darling and her father William, and their rescue of the Forfarshire survivors. But many other wreck-divers will know the Longstone
The Oregon (Wreck)(en)United_Kingdom / England / Yealmpton interesting placeYou might feel that Captain Albert Lowe had bad luck with the pilot allocated at Falmouth to bring him safely up-Channel.

The Kos XVI (Wreck)(en)United_Kingdom / England / Easington interesting placeAltogether there were 23 ships called Kos.

The Turquoise (Wreck)(en)France / Basse-Normandie / Reville interesting placeIt would have been little consolation to the crew of the Belgian coaster Turquoise to know that they had been sunk by an experimental steam gunboat of Britain's Coastal Forces.

The Aeolian Sky (Wreck)(en)United_Kingdom / England / Wareham interesting placeShe was just a year old, and big with it. Her hull and machinery was valued at over £3 million. That figure didn't include the cargo with which her holds were stuffed, or the many containers and dozens of Land
The Gascony (Wreck)(en)United_Kingdom / England / Bognor_Regis interesting placeEveryone at the Court of Enquiry into the sinking of the 3133 ton British steamer Gascony assumed that she had been mined.

The Thesis (Wreck)(en)United_Kingdom / Scotland / Oban shipwreckThey launched the iron steamer Thesis down the slipway of McIlwaine, Lewis in Belfast into a bitter, misty January morning in 1887. She behaved well from the moment her keel hit the water. Certainly Captain Wallace and his 11-man crew
