Duo-Divers

When you get really close to the bows it does become a little more ship-like

This area was exposed during the storms of 2018/2019 when a foot or so of sand was scoured out, so there is a mish-mash of bits all rusted onto the bottom of the gully.

Move away from the face and you reach a jumble of boulders, some with dead-mans fingers

You can now look along the prop-shaft tunnel

A shoal of immature Bib (Trisopterus luscus) this shoal was always around a particular large rock on the site, not sure why, guess that there is a subtle current split or join?

Debris all around and most unidentifiable, in this case it's a part of a mast or kingpost arrangement, I think!

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?

I messed around with the images as the three larger holes do have a look of 'The Scream' by Munch, what do you think?

A view into the propellor shaft, simply taking a bearing along the shaft and follow over the sand and you will reach the other part of the wreck

One of the gun barrels, SMS Brummer was primarily a mine laying crusier so the guns were used to bully anything smaller and the engines to outrun anything bigger!

And here is the business end of a Seven Armed Starfish (Luida ciliaris) a bit of a prehistoric throw-back this monster!

A pair of breeding Edible Crabs (Cancer pagurus)  The male will carry around the female until she sheds to make sure that it's his sperm that is used to fertilise the eggs.

A common or garden Plaice (Pleuronectes platessa), get to the gritty sand and you will se a few of these tasty fish, if you are so inclined you could bag for your tea.

A view through the boilers from 'nearly inside'

Not sure if this is hull or bent deck, it is on the Point side of you in the main gully at the shore end, always a blue fiend or two in residence but careful as there are always fishing weights and lines in this vicinity.

When there is a bit of a tide running and some plankton in the water the tentacles on the Edible Sea Urchin (Echinus esculentus) do seem to extend a long, long way as they pick up food.
