Duo-Divers

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

Engine parts sticking out of the sand, I assume these held on the cylinders........

Everywhere that you look the bottom isn't bedrock, it is formed from sections of ship.

Looks like (Parazoanthus anguicomus) a type of creature called an encrusting anemone. Usually but not always found in deep water so maybe not!

The gnomes garden......there are a few broken ones around too!

Drop over to the 'hull side' of the vessel and it's still pretty messed around.

The 'fresh' Greenland Shark (Somniosus microcephalus) that was stranded at Embleton, this shot gives some indication of scale

The stern section of Mistley has been really scoured with an extra meter of depth now available, with all of the solid stuff exposed there has been a significant amount of non-ferrous scrap shifted this year

A Velvet Swimming Crab (Necora puber) this one was worth a photo as it had a starfish set up shop on its shell

Another boiler, this one has a large lump of machinery to the south and is pretty much intact

A common Hermit crab (Pagurus bernhardus), this one seemed to have a load of eggs around the outer edge of the shell

The axle set was a bit of a cheat but not seen and strong enough

The prop shaft 'sans' prop! The propellor was made from high cost non-ferrous materials, phosphor bronze etc and an easy win for whoever was salvor in possession at the time.

A shot of the sea-bed in about twenty five meters off the Harcarrs, its all flat rock, small gravel beds and short drop offs.

A shot of the sea-bed in about twenty five meters off the Harcarrs, its all flat rock, small gravel beds and short drop offs.

Back quarter shot all done and pre-mounting.

The sternpost of the Mistley is maybe 20 yards away next to a large pinnacle, I guess that she hit the pinnacle before foundering closer to land

A Plaice (Pleuronectes platessa), relatively common around Beadnell due to the mixed ground.

And the business end of the same gun, in this case a crab has set-up shop but most of the time they are home to conger eels!

The back end of a shaggy mouse slug, or sea mouse or more accurately Aeolidia papillosa, this one was spotted quite early in the season.

If you look down into the heavily salvaged engine space you can see the prop shaft, the hole down is about 20m to the inverted deck, quite a drop.....
