  • SS Maine (1914)

    Dover Marina Esplanade, Dover, Kent, United Kingdom

    Before the First World War had even begun, the small steel coaster SS Maine met her end off Dover after colliding with the Spanish vessel José de Aramburu on 2 April 1914. Her crew survived, but the ship went down near the harbour approaches, leaving behind a wreck now better known by a far more memorable name.

    Divers call her the Perrier Wreck because of the bottles scattered through the site. A collision, a lost coaster, and a seabed full of fizzy-water history. Dover wreck diving does like to keep things gloriously odd.

  • SS Luna

    SS Luna (1919)

    Dover Deep Wreck Week
    Dover Marina Esplanade, Dover, Kent, United Kingdom

    SS Luna survived the First World War, then sank after the peace, because the Dover Strait apparently keeps its own diary of grudges. Join this SS Luna wreck dive to explore a Dutch cargo steamer lost to a mine near the Goodwin Sands in 1919, with all hands saved and a ship's bell that helped reveal her name nearly 90 years later.

  • SS Agnes Wyllie

    SS Agnes Wyllie (1877)

    Dover Marina Esplanade, Dover, Kent, United Kingdom

    SS Agnes Wyllie was a small iron steamer carrying pig iron from Middlesbrough to Caen when the Goodwin Sands took her on New Year's Day 1877. Ten of eleven crew died, one man survived, and the wreck still tells a grim Channel story with no battle, no mine and no mercy.

  • MV Saint Ronan

    MV Saint Ronan (1959)

    Dover Marina Esplanade, Dover, Kent, United Kingdom

    MV Saint Ronan was barely a year old when fog near the South Goodwin Lightvessel turned her final voyage into disaster. This MV Saint Ronan wreck dive follows the story of a Glasgow coaster struck by Mount Athos in 1959, sliced apart in the Channel, with seven rescued and three lost.

  • U-Boat SM UB-109

    U-Boat SM UB-109 (1918)

    U-Boat Long Weekender
    Dover Marina Esplanade, Dover, Kent, United Kingdom

    SM UB-109 slipped through the Dover Barrage once, sank ships in the Atlantic, then returned to find the door had become a trap. This wreck dive follows a German U-boat blown apart by shore-controlled mines off Folkestone in 1918, with eight survivors and twenty-eight dead.
