Same guy and those orange dry-gloves didn't half reflect the light!
Sponges tend to have colonised kelp by late in the season, I think that this particular sponge is Stelletta lactea but I could be wrong.
Not sure what this is......a mechanism with a brass ring on one side......could be some sort of mounting and rotational device for a searchlight?
Another small nudibranch, not sure what type it is and for all the wporld it appears to be an immature Sea Lemon although it is far to late in the season.....further investigation required!
A Long Legged Spider Crab (Macropodia rostrata) there are loads on all or most sites, this is the most common 'camouflage'.
Every little helps....... these guys set up shop in 1879 so that is the earliest date for the mystery wreck
A view of the sections of masts if you are heading towards the Hopper, they are in a section of sand filled gully at the base of the rock face
A Northern Prawn (Padalus borealis) sitting on a Dead-mans finger (Alcyonium digitatum), when you slow down and l-o-o-k there are loads of these prawns all over the sites.
There are 'odd' sections of phosphor bronze pipe dotted around the site, I have put a fishing weight on this one to give some sense of scale. I may be forced to attack it with a hammer and chisel in 2017!
A lump of anchor chain, some of the minimal evidence that a ship sank here.
Snale Locks Anemone (Anemonia viridis) another species common in Southern and Scottish west coast waters but not in the North East. I always look for the spider crab that lives with these anemones but have yet to spot one, perhaps sometime in the future?
Head up the slope from the boilers in a south westerly direction and you will find a jumble of winches and machinery
A very scenic dip with dead mans fingers (Alcyonium digitatum) covering hard rock with boulders in some of the larger gullies.
