Latest Photographs
The inside or West side of the boiler with fire hole etc on show
A scenic of the bow, due to the previous salvage operation it has 'snapped' and fallen away from centre to left of the photograph
Bizarre clowns at depth......great with a touch of narcosis!
The lower mounting position where the pin would fit with a wrist mounted compass to give some sort of scale
There was a bit of solder 'snot' but this was easily removed by turning and gentle work with a dremel.
You will certainly get a few chances for 'davit' shots on the wreck!
A King....or Common....or Great Scallop (Pecten maximus), they were even sitting on hard rock!
Beadnell Point with a wet camera from the midway rest point, if you need a breather that is!
A bit of a swim through, if that's your thing, I'm not sure if this is part of the funnel or a 'rippled' section of hull/deck. I suspect it is part of the funnel as there are no signs of beams.
This waterlogged piece of wood, which I think had been a fence post was covered in hard pink coraline and very 'pretty', once underwater it doesn't take long for detritus and junk to be absorbed into the eco-system
On the southern side the edge is under-cut close to the deep gutter, with various critters living in the space under the rock
Typical farne site, a 'wall' down to a slowly sloping rock and boulder bottom.
Don't try this at home kids!!!
A Pogge (Agonus cataphractus) or is that Hook-nose or Armoured Bullhead, these are a relativeliy common critter but with their camouflage you tend to see their pearly white barbules before anything else.
A large shoal of fish, they were Saithe (Pollachius virens) and although in a large shoal there wasn't much bravery in numbers as they were very 'skittery'
A Common Starfish (Asterias rubens) this one was digging deep for I guess a cockle or similar that he had 'sensed'.
Back quarter shot all done and pre-mounting.
K - So the next step was to find someone to make a base, I thought about mounting on four wooden legs but that was 'too vanilla' so we went to a local blacksmith
