A 'random wreckage' shot, you can see the rope and shattered pot, so go steady on these dives as there are trapping hazards about.
The joint 'tween twelve inch gun and turret at one of the rear guns, these are some size!
The barrels just 'go off' into the gloom, wow!
And here is the business end, not really good as you cant get a sense of scale
Something for a sense of scale, I hope!
Not all rust, here is a Dragonet (Callionymus lyra)
And here is the business end of a Seven Armed Starfish (Luida ciliaris) a bit of a prehistoric throw-back this monster!
Just a random scenic shot, its a big old wreck
A Sea Toad (Hyas araneus) hiding in among the Dead- mans fingers
A Devonshire cup-coral (Caryophyllia smithii), there are loads of these multi-coloured critters on the wreckage

One of the spotting masts, I am assuming that there is a ladder inside for the crew to climb up to the exposed station located high above the deck

Broken bottom and divers!!
There are more and more dahlia anemone (Urticina felina) appearing on the site, I do worry that a hard winter storm will dislodge and kill most of them but hey!
I really struggled whilst looking for handles that 'spin or rotate' whilst you turn the reel, eventually I settled on machining a bit of brass with knurling for grip and mounting on a countersunk screw that wasn't tightened all of the way in
This is a pointer, but off what? Dimensionally it looks too dumpy to be from a clock, I thought perhaps an inclinometer or similar from a boat.
Sea Hare (aplysia punctata) you get loads and loads of them on the south side of the point feeding and breeding!
Scenic stuff with light coming through the hull where the plates have gone and we are left with ribs and bits only
A drain or fluid hole or space for a fuse?
Plates and spars towards the stern of the wreck
