Dive Guides
SS Thesis re-visited
Although the original guide for this wreck is contained in the general overview guide it has really changed beyond belief and as such I have produced a new guide which is much more relevant.
Latest Photographs


A Marbled swimming crab (Liocarcinus marmoreus), very similar to the velvet swimming crab, maybe a touch lighter in colour
Gas works!
A King....or Common....or Great Scallop (Pecten maximus) this one was just about to 'jet off'.
The capstan on the fore-deck...again!
A Short Spined Sea-Scorpion (Myoxocephalus scorpius), a nice 'easy' fish to get nice photographs of, as you can probably tell if you go through all of the albums.
A pretty little light, one of the guys thought 'deck light' but with a solid back and close to another two broken lights I would think a bulkhead light of some description, date late victorian to pre WWI
Arty-farty shot of a pinnacle
Another larger boiler, showing the fire hole, head from the donkey boiler back along a 10m deep zone and you'll find it.
Settling down on a patch of gravel and waiting until I bimbled over.......
Looking along the front of the promenade deck, the windows have long gone but the frames remain.
And closer.......
A typical north east wreck dive, plates, boilers n bits. In this case probably Jan Van Ryswyck although a few vessels have foundered so the bits are somehwhat mixed!
An atmospheric (arty-farty) shot showing one of the large overhangs on the North side of this site.
Inside the plane
View one of a bilge sieve, these were fitted to the open ends of bilge pipes to make sure that no large crud which may block the pump could be drawn into the system.
