HMS Northcoates (Wreck)(en)United_Kingdom / England / Bognor_Regis interesting placeFor years after divers discovered the wreck off the Sussex coast, they could only call her the Armed Trawler. It was obvious that it was just that, but no one knew its proper name, writes Kendall McDonald. The wreck sat
The Shadwan (Wreck)(en)United_Kingdom / England / Berwick-upon-Tweed interesting placeCaptain John Willis was master of the British steamer Shadwan for many years. He was not her first captain after she was built in 1877 by CS Swan & Co for the London shipping firm of Nelson, Donkin & Co,
The Glocliffe (Wreck)(en)United_Kingdom / England / Budleigh_Salterton interesting placeThe Glocliffe, a British steamer of 2211 tons, 287ft long with a beam of 43ft, was built in 1915 by Craig, Taylor and Co at Stockton-on-Tees. She was well short of a year old when she had her first unpleasant
The Thomas Vaughan (Wreck)(en)United_Kingdom / Wales / Milford_Haven interesting placeEveryone knew everything about the Holme Line steamer Thomas Vaughan except what had happened to her.

The Jambo (Wreck)(en)United_Kingdom / Scotland / Ullapool shipwreckOnly the Chief Officer was on the bridge as the 88m steel hull of the Cypriot-registered Jambo sped through the calm waters of the Little Minch in the early hours of 29 June, 2003. Unfortunately, the CO had already been
The City of Waterford (Wreck)(en)United_Kingdom / England / Rottingdean shipwreck, interesting placeIt wasn't until 1946, when she was sold by the Clyde Shipping Co, that the 25-year-old steamer Skerries II was renamed City of Waterford, writes Kendall McDonald. Built in 1921 at the Caldon Ship & Engineering works in Dundee, the
The Verona (Wreck)(en)United_Kingdom / Scotland / Findhorn interesting placeThe luxury steam yacht Tighnamara was a fine example of what Scottish shipbuilders could do when backed by copious quantities of Victorian money. She was launched into the Clyde at Greenock in 1890, and when completed was an elegant, 165
The Virginian (Wreck)(en)United_Kingdom / England / Mablethorpe-Sutton_on_Sea interesting placeHaving survived both World Wars, it seems hard that the steam trawler Virginian was to be sunk by another war survivor. Built at Beverley, in the yard of Cook Welton & Gemmel in 1906, the Virginian was owned by the
The Ardlough (Wreck)(en)United_Kingdom / Wales / Llandudno shipwreckA leak in her hold was caused when she hit a lock wall when leaving Garston Docks, but it must have been a big hole by the time the Ardlough, a heavily laden, 998 ton West German steel motor vessel,
The Enrico Parodi (Wreck)(en)United_Kingdom / England / Penzance interesting placeFirst of all they called her the King Edgar. That was when they launched the new steamer from the yard of Osbourne Graham in Sunderland in 1903. The next British owners decided to change the name to Boscombe. Then, just
The Ashbury (Wreck)(en)United_Kingdom / Scotland / Golspie interesting placeThe Ashbury had condenser trouble, to put it mildly. That and the ferocity of the storm of 8 January 1945 drove her on to the reef called Dubh Sgeir Mhor, which translates from the Gaelic as Big Black Rock. It
The Ashford (Wreck)(en)Germany / Rheinland-Pfalz / Gemunden interesting placeThe wind from the west was nearly force 5, and building. It brought the German barque Pirat romping up the Channel with most sails set, homeward bound for Hamburg. Coming the other way from Seaham and cutting across the Channel
The Tapti (Wreck)(en)United_Kingdom / Scotland / Tobermory interesting placeTaking a ship in ballast from the Mersey to the Tyne around Scotland was never the best of voyages. In January 1951, it proved too much for the motor vessel Tapti and her skipper Captain Coney, who had orders to
The Sesame (Wreck)(en)France / Basse-Normandie / Englesqueville-la-Percee shipwreckThe German 5th Flotilla of E-boats, based at Le Havre, was a crack outfit. Its high-speed sweeps of the Channel from the very beginning of the occupation of the French naval base in 1940 brought much grief to Allied shipping.
The St Jacques (Wreck)(en)United_Kingdom / Wales / Milford_Haven interesting placeCapitaine Henri Hauville, who had commanded the 2459 ton French steamer St Jacques since she was built in 1909 in Dunkirk, had kept her out of trouble for all three years of the war so far. Perhaps Capitaine Hauville was
The Fenella Ann (Wreck)(en)Isle_of_Man / Port_Erin / Port_Erin shipwreckBurroo is what Viking raiders called it. Burroo means fortress in Norse and that is what those steep cliffs of the rocky outcrop at the southern tip of the Calf of Man, itself a mile-wide islet off the much bigger
The Buccaneer (Wreck)(en)United_Kingdom / England / Chickerell interesting placeJust who was responsible for the appallingly inaccurate shooting of HMS St James, a 2325 ton just- delivered Navy destroyer, during live-ammunition firing trials at a towed target in Lyme Bay? No one wanted to know. But the captain of
The Warwick Deeping (Wreck)(en)United_Kingdom / England / Freshwater-Totland interesting placeThere was nothing "HMS" about Warwick Deeping when this 545 ton trawler was built by Cochrane Shipbuilders of Selby in 1934 for the Newington Steam Trawler Company of Hull. She was intended strictly for peaceful fishing. And that's what she
HMS Umpire (Wreck)(en)United_Kingdom / England / Sheringham interesting placeDuring the night of 19 July, 1941 His Majesty's Submarine Umpire, with a crew of 30, was cruising on the surface with a large inward-bound Allied convoy off the Norfolk coast.

The James Barrie (Wreck)(en)United_Kingdom / Scotland / Kirkwall shipwreckThough all her 21 crew had left her in two rafts when she was badly holed and firmly pinned on to the rocks of a reef in the Pentland Skerries, the British steam trawler James Barrie freed herself two days
