Common edible and tasty lobster (homarus gammarus) the area is home to a multitude of them!
Another breech assembly, you can see where someone has cleaned the 'crud' from the brass section
Debris all around and most unidentifiable, in this case it's a 'wheel type thingie'......
More identifiable bits, the steam powered windlass that was mounted near the bow, the main steel mast in lying to the left (North) up and onto a reef and there are bits of bollard and the like adjacent.
George Jacob run by the Marine Quest at Eyemouth
A hatch with the actual cut-out still 'envisionable', is there such a word? There should be!
Dropping down, with a stone floor and walls the vis is uaually very good
Just a random scenic shot, its a big old wreck
I also had the cascabel end engraved, a nice touch I thought.
A close up of the winching arrangement showing the spoked section which is at the northern end of the 'lump'
The second anchor, again of a Danfort design.
More shots of the debris field, later in the year so a 'better' water colour!
Scrapyard, if you look carefully you will be able to see Albert Steptoe, he's a dirty old man!
This is what remains of the bows, when the plates fell apart the bow fell forward as the supporting structure had been removed
I think part of a mast, I did think prop shaft from a smaller vessel but winter storms revealed that at least one of the ends is sealed.
The velvet swimming crab (necora puber), there are always some about and 'prod' one and it will swim away.....honest!
A very large, well the largest that I have ever seen Common Octopus (Octopus vulgaris), if hunting occies look for the eyes, they cannot change their 'slitted' eyes which look at you as an equal rather than some other sea creatures which appear not to have the intellegence of this species.
Everywhere that you look the bottom isn't bedrock, it is formed from sections of ship, in some cases folded over and over forming very useful lobbie lairs
