SUMMARY:SS Valuta (1886)
DESCRIPTION:The SS Valuta was a German steam cargo ship\, built in 1883 at Flensburg. She was a compact iron steamer of about 784 gross tons\, with local dive records giving her dimensions as roughly 74 metres long\, 10 metres beam and 5 metres depth. She was on passage from Hamburg to the Amur\, in the Russian Far East\, which is quite the journey for a vessel now sitting off Kent\, because the Channel has always had a talent for interrupting travel plans. \nOn 22 April 1886\, Valuta was caught in heavy fog and collided with the Hamburg steamer Petropolis in the English Channel\, about 15 nautical miles north-east of the Goodwin Sands. She sank roughly an hour later\, but all 22 people aboard were rescued by Petropolis\, a rare happy ending in the wreck business and therefore almost suspicious. For divers\, Valuta offers a neat late-Victorian collision wreck: German iron\, Channel fog\, Goodwin Sands danger\, and a compact site with enough period character to make it far more appealing than its modest tonnage suggests.

SUMMARY:HMT Othello II – FY1193 (1915)
DESCRIPTION:HMT Othello II was a Hull steam trawler built in 1907 by Cook\, Welton & Gemmell of Beverley\, with engines by Amos & Smith. She was built for the Hellyer Steam Fishing Company\, part of a fleet famously named after Shakespearean characters\, because apparently even trawlers needed a literary education before being sent into a minefield. Requisitioned by the Admiralty in March 1915\, she became minesweeper FY1193 and joined the Dover Patrol’s hard-used trawler force. Sources place her at around 206 tons\, a small vessel asked to do brutally dangerous work in the Channel. \nOn 31 October 1915\, Othello II was sent to patrol “Section Two”\, between the Goodwin Gate and the Gull Lightship\, after UC-6 had laid mines there the previous day. In a strong south-south-easterly gale\, she struck one of those mines at about 11:55am and sank rapidly. The mine was laid by SM UC-6\, commanded by Matthias Graf von Schmettow\, the same field that also claimed SS Eidsiva\, SS Toward and HMY Aries. Nine men were lost\, with a single deck-boy survivor reportedly squeezed out through the wheelhouse window before the vessel went down. For divers\, this is a small but deeply powerful Dover Patrol wreck: a fishing trawler turned minesweeper\, lost in the same deadly wartime trap as several larger ships\, and carrying a human story far bigger than her size suggests.

SUMMARY:HMT Saxon Prince – FY262 (1916)
DESCRIPTION:HMT Saxon Prince was a North Shields steam trawler\, built by J. T. Eltringham & Co. Ltd at South Shields and completed in January 1907 for Prince Steam Fishing Co. Ltd\, with Richard Irvin as manager. She was a steel screw trawler of 237 gross tons\, about 36.7 metres long\, with a 6.7 metre beam and 3.7 metre depth\, driven by a triple-expansion engine built by Shields Engineering & Dry Dock Co. Ltd. In August 1914 she was requisitioned by the Admiralty and converted into minesweeper No. 262\, proving once again that the Navy looked at hard-working fishing boats and thought\, “that’ll do\, send it into danger.” \nOn 28 March 1916\, Saxon Prince disappeared off Dover / Kingsdown in a violent south-westerly Force 12 storm\, while serving on Admiralty patrol work. Some records mention possible mining\, but the strongest contemporary explanation is foundering in the furious gale. The Maritime Archaeology Trust records that all 12 men aboard were lost\, and likely remains now lie in about 22 metres of water\, roughly off the cliffs between St Margaret’s Bay and Kingsdown. For divers\, this is a small wreck with a hard human story: a former fishing trawler turned wartime minesweeper\, lost not to gunfire or torpedo\, but to the Channel itself at its most brutal.

SUMMARY:SS Unity (1918)
DESCRIPTION:The SS Unity was a British steam cargo vessel built in 1902 by Murdoch & Murray of Port Glasgow for the Co-operative Wholesale Society. She later passed to the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Company and worked the Goole to Hamburg trade before wartime service pulled her into cross-Channel supply work. She was a compact steamer of 1\,091 gross tons\, measuring about 75.2 metres long\, 11.2 metres in beam\, and 4.6 metres deep. Practical\, purposeful and unromantic\, which is exactly the sort of ship history later turns into a cracking dive. \nOn 2 May 1918\, Unity was sailing from Newhaven to Calais with a cargo of ordnance when she was torpedoed and sunk by the German submarine UB-57\, commanded by Johannes Lohs\, around 9 nautical miles south-east of Folkestone. Twelve crewmen were lost\, although her captain survived. For divers\, Unity has all the ingredients of a proper Dover Strait war wreck: a working railway steamer\, a dangerous military cargo\, a U-boat attack in the final months of the First World War\, and a wreck lying in the Channel where trade\, war and tide all met in the usual civilised manner\, by breaking steel.

SUMMARY:HMT Cayton Wyke (1940)
DESCRIPTION:HMT Cayton Wyke was a British steam trawler built in 1932 by Cochrane & Sons of Selby\, originally a fishing vessel before the Admiralty purchased her in August 1939 and converted her into an anti-submarine trawler. Sources give her tonnage slightly differently\, with 550 tons in Naval-History and Historic England\, while some trawler lists place her nearer 373 to 375 gross tons\, so I’d avoid putting the tonnage in bold neon until you’ve checked Wrecksite or Lloyd’s Register. Either way\, she was a tough little patrol vessel doing dangerous work in the Dover Strait\, where small ships were expected to face mines\, aircraft\, U-boats and E-boats with very little room for error. Civilisation\, naturally\, rewarded this by giving them the worst jobs afloat. \nOn 8 July 1940\, Cayton Wyke was sunk off Dover\, close to the South Goodwin Lightship\, after being hit by a torpedo from a German E-boat\, commonly identified as S-36. Naval-History records her as lost by surface-craft torpedo\, while shipwreck lists state that all 18 crew were lost. She also has a notable earlier wartime footnote: in October 1939\, she helped HMS Puffin sink the German submarine U-16 near Dover. For divers\, Cayton Wyke is a compact but powerful Channel war wreck: a former fishing trawler turned hunter\, lost in the knife-edge summer of 1940\, when the Dover Strait was less a sea lane and more a firing range with tides

SUMMARY:HMT Tranquil – FY 920 (1942)
DESCRIPTION:HMT Tranquil began life as the steam trawler Good Luck\, built in 1912 by Cook\, Welton & Gemmell Ltd at Beverley\, yard number 249. She was a steel screw trawler of 294 gross tons\, measuring about 39.6 metres long with a 7.2 metre beam\, powered by an Amos & Smith triple-expansion engine rated at 87 NHP. First registered at Hull as H497\, she later moved to Fleetwood as FD425 and took the name Tranquil. She had already served once in war\, requisitioned in April 1915 as a minesweeper and escort vessel\, before returning to fishing after the First World War. History clearly saw a hardworking trawler and thought\, “You again.” \nRequisitioned again on 28 April 1940\, Tranquil became Royal Navy minesweeper FY 920. After repairs at Tilbury\, she left dock on 14 June 1942\, but two days later\, on 16 June 1942\, she sank following a collision off Deal\, Kent. At least one crewman is specifically recorded as lost: Seaman Kenneth James Pentreath\, Royal Naval Patrol Service\, aged 21\, who drowned on active service. For divers\, Tranquil is one of those quietly powerful Channel wrecks: a fishing boat turned wartime minesweeper\, twice taken into naval service\, lost close to the Dover approaches in the middle of Britain’s coastal war. Small ship\, hard life\, proper story.

SUMMARY:SS Sea Serpent (1916)
DESCRIPTION:The SS Sea Serpent was a British steam cargo ship built in 1898 by A. McMillan & Son Ltd\, at Dumbarton\, for Leach & Co. Ltd. She was a compact but capable coastal and short-sea trader of 902 gross tons\, carrying the sort of unglamorous cargo that kept Europe moving while larger ships got all the applause\, because even history has favourites. On her final voyage she was bound from Liverpool to Dunkirk with a cargo of corrugated galvanised sheets. \nOn 23 March 1916\, Sea Serpent struck a mine laid by the German submarine UC-6\, commanded by Matthias Graf von Schmettow\, and sank off Folkestone Pier\, at approximately 51°02’N\, 01°12’E. At least two crewmen are recorded as lost: fireman George James Anderson\, aged 24\, and mess room boy Frederick William Barrow\, aged only 16. For divers\, this is a classic Channel war-loss: a modest merchant steamer\, a practical cargo\, a minefield off the Kent coast\, and a wreck with the quiet weight of ordinary men caught in extraordinary danger.

SUMMARY:SS Castor (1894)
DESCRIPTION:The SS Castor was a Dutch iron screw steamship\, launched on 18 June 1870 by A. & J. Inglis of Glasgow for the Koninklijke Nederlandsche Stoomboot Maatschappij (Royal Netherlands Steamship Company). She was registered at Amsterdam and measured about 77 metres long\, with a 9.9 metre beam\, 1\,500 gross tons\, two boilers and a two-cylinder compound engine. Earlier in her career she even worked Atlantic passenger routes\, before settling into Mediterranean and Baltic cargo service\, because apparently one lifetime of honest work wasn’t enough for a Victorian steamer. \nOn 28 July 1894\, Castor was on passage from Smyrna\, now Izmir\, to Amsterdam\, having called at Algiers\, when she was caught in dense fog off Dungeness / Folkestone and collided with the German barque Ernst. She was struck amidships and sank\, but her 25 crew and 3 passengers were all saved. Her cargo gives this wreck its real intrigue: 14 Greco-Roman sculptures and inscriptions\, packed in two crates for the Rijksmuseum van Oudheden in Leiden. Divers later recovered several second-century marble pieces from the wreck\, including sculptured heads and funerary monuments. Today\, Castor is a cracking dive with a rare story: a Dutch steamer\, a Channel collision\, and classical antiquities lying in the silt like history had dropped its handbag

SUMMARY:SS Nunima (1918)
DESCRIPTION:The SS Nunima was a British steel screw cargo steamer built in 1903 by William Gray & Co. Ltd of West Hartlepool for Trechmann Steamship Co. Ltd. She was a sizeable working tramp of 2\,938 gross tons\, measuring about 99.1 metres long\, with a 14.3 metre beam and a 6.7 metre draught. Her triple-expansion engine\, built by Central Marine Engineering Works\, drove a single screw. In other words\, proper Edwardian cargo iron: built for work\, not glamour\, because shipowners had clearly not yet discovered the marketing department. \nOn 4 January 1918\, Nunima was on passage from Bilbao to Middlesbrough with a cargo of iron ore when she sank after a collision off Folkestone\, reported variously as with P19 or an unidentified Royal Navy torpedo boat. UKHO-derived wreck data places the wreck at about 50°58.304’N\, 1°08.678’E\, lying upright and largely intact in roughly 32 metres\, with a least depth of around 19 metres over the wreck. No lives were lost\, which is a rare mercy in these Channel stories and frankly suspiciously decent of history for once. For divers\, Nunima is a big\, upright First World War merchant steamer with cargo history\, scale\, structure and a proper Dover Strait collision story. A solid wreck with presence.

SUMMARY:Unidentified Wreck – Offshore
DESCRIPTION:Some wrecks come with a name\, a date\, a cargo list and a tidy little story. These do not. These are the unknown marks\, the offshore shadows\, the lumps of steel\, timber and machinery that sit on the seabed with their history still locked inside them. They might be a forgotten collier\, a wartime casualty\, a sailing vessel\, a trawler\, a barge\, a steamer\, or something nobody expected to find there at all. That is the pull of an unidentified wreck: you are not visiting a museum label. You are stepping into the investigation. \nThese dives are for curious divers who like a bit of mystery with their slack water. The wreck may have been rarely dived\, poorly recorded\, misidentified\, or never properly explored. There may be no neat answer waiting on the shotline\, which is half the fun and also the reason humans keep buying expensive torches and calling it a hobby. Look for clues: boilers\, engines\, winches\, cargo\, crockery\, ballast\, armament\, construction details\, anything that might help bring a lost name back from the seabed. You are not booking a routine wreck dive. You are joining a proper offshore puzzle\, and the next clue might be yours.

SUMMARY:SS Carmen (1963)
DESCRIPTION:The SS Carmen was a Panamanian steam cargo vessel\, originally built of steel at Sunderland by William Doxford & Sons Ltd. Historic England records conflicting build dates of 1920 and 1930\, but her recovered bell is engraved “IRON CHIEF 1930 SYDNEY”\, showing her earlier identity before later names including Stagpool\, Granny Suzanne\, and finally Carmen. She was a substantial freighter of about 112.9 metres long\, 16.1 metres in beam\, and around 4\,240 gross tons\, powered by a triple-expansion steam engine. On her final voyage she was carrying bauxite from Takoradi\, Ghana\, to Burntisland. Not glamorous cargo\, admittedly\, but bauxite has better wreck appeal than another dreary hold full of ballast and disappointment. \nOn 13 June 1963\, Carmen was caught in thick fog in the Dover Strait and collided with the Turkish steamship Sadikzade\, about 4.5 miles east of the South West Goodwin light buoy and 9.6 miles east of St Margaret’s Bay. She sank with the loss of two crewmen\, while the collision set off an absurdly grim chain reaction: Sadikzade then collided with the Greek motor vessel Leandros\, which in turn collided with the British tanker Clyde Sergeant. Today\, Carmen lies upright and largely intact in around 44 to 45 metres\, with her funnel around 30 metres and superstructure rising into the low 30s. For divers\, she is a superb deeper Channel wreck: intact\, dramatic\, well identified\, and carrying the unmistakable scar of a fog-bound collision in one of the busiest seaways on Earth.

SUMMARY:SS Amplegarth (1918)
DESCRIPTION:The SS Amplegarth began life as SS Denewell\, a British steel screw cargo steamer built in 1910 by William Pickersgill & Sons Ltd of Southwick\, Sunderland. She was launched on 23 August 1910\, completed that September\, and measured about 106.2 metres long\, with a 15.3 metre beam and 7.2 metre depth\, at 3\,707 gross tons. By 1915 she had become Amplegarth\, registered at Cardiff under the Ampleforth Steamship Co. Ltd\, before later passing to Canute Steamship Co. Ltd. A solid coal-carrying steamer\, then. No ballroom\, no grand staircase\, no nonsense. The Channel rarely asks for glamour before it ruins your day. \nOn 10 May 1918\, Amplegarth was on passage from Dunston-on-Tyne to St Nazaire with a cargo of coal when she struck a mine laid by the German minelaying submarine UC-71\, commanded by Oberleutnant zur See Walter Warzecha. She sank about 1 mile west-south-west of Dover Harbour. The best Cardiff shipping summary I found records no lives lost\, which is a blessedly rare line in a First World War wreck note. For divers\, this is a proper Dover war wreck: a big merchant steamer\, a working cargo\, a UC-boat minefield\, and a loss right on the doorstep of one of the busiest wartime ports in Britain.

SUMMARY:SS Cuvier (1900)
DESCRIPTION:The SS Cuvier was an iron screw cargo steamer built in 1883 by A. Leslie & Co.\, recorded as built at Newcastle-upon-Tyne / Hebburn. She was fitted with a two-cylinder compound engine\, two boilers\, and carried official number 87903. Sources disagree slightly on her tonnage\, with one contemporary report giving 2\,299 gross tons\, while local wreck summaries often round her to about 2\,000 tons. At the time of her loss she was on passage from Antwerp to Bahia\, Brazil\, with a general cargo that included bagged cement\, lead ingots and crockery. Not exactly treasure\, but crockery on a wreck always adds a certain dinner-service drama\, because apparently even the seabed needs plates. \nOn 9 March 1900\, Cuvier was struck on the starboard side in the Dover Strait by the Norwegian steamer Dovre\, which was bound from Burntisland to Dieppe with coal. The collision tore open her side\, flooded the engine room\, and she sank in minutes\, around 6 miles east of the East Goodwin Lightvessel. Historic England records heavy loss of life\, with sources giving 26 to 28 crew lost and only a handful of survivors picked up by the steamer Windsor. For divers\, Cuvier is a classic Goodwins-area wreck: a Victorian cargo steamer\, a sudden night collision\, a grim human story\, and a site known for recovered Maastricht-marked bowls\, mugs\, chamber pots\, portholes and crockery. It’s the kind of wreck where the artefacts make the story feel oddly domestic\, which somehow makes the tragedy hit harder.

SUMMARY:SS Efford – Stern (1940)
DESCRIPTION:The SS Efford was a small British coastal cargo steamer\, built in 1905 by Dublin Dockyard Co. and later owned by Efford Shipping Co. Ltd of London. Wrecksite records her official number as 107004 and gives her at 339 GRT\, although some wartime loss summaries list her as 393 GRT\, so I’d keep the wording as “small coastal steamer” unless you want to start a tonnage punch-up in the clubhouse. On 22 May 1940\, in the chaos of the Channel during the German advance through France\, she was off Dover when she collided with the French steamer Tlemcen. \nEfford sank after the collision\, reportedly cut in two\, and her remains are known as two separated wreck sections off Dover. That makes her an especially interesting dive: not a grand liner or warship\, but a compact coaster with a dramatic physical story written into the seabed. For divers\, Efford offers exactly the sort of Channel wreck that rewards close inspection: broken structure\, wartime context\, collision damage\, and the odd thrill of knowing the bow and stern are not necessarily where polite naval architecture intended them to be.

SUMMARY:HMS Flirt (1916)
DESCRIPTION:HMS Flirt was a Royal Navy three-funnel\, 30-knot destroyer\, later grouped into the C-class\, built by Palmers Shipbuilding & Iron Co. Ltd at Jarrow-on-Tyne. Laid down in 1896\, launched in 1897 and completed in 1899\, she was an older but fast destroyer of about 67 metres long\, with a 6.1 metre beam and a draught of roughly 2.7 metres. Her armament included a 12-pounder gun\, five 6-pounders and two 18-inch torpedo tubes. By 1916 she was serving with the Dover Patrol\, guarding the Dover Barrage and the drifters that maintained its anti-submarine nets. Small ship\, big job\, because the Admiralty did love sending lightly built destroyers into the Channel’s worst evenings. \nOn the night of 26-27 October 1916\, during the First Battle of the Dover Strait\, German torpedo boats raided the barrage. Flirt went to investigate gunfire and found the drifter Waveney II burning. She lowered a boat to help survivors\, then challenged approaching vessels in the darkness\, believing them possibly friendly. They were not. German destroyers opened fire at close range\, and HMS Flirt was sunk with heavy loss of life. Sources commonly record three officers\, including her commanding officer Lieutenant A. Swainson\, and more than 50 ratings killed or missing\, with the only survivors being those already away in the rescue boat. For divers\, Flirt is one of Dover’s most poignant war wrecks: a rescue attempt\, a night action\, and a little destroyer overwhelmed while doing exactly what she had been sent there to do.

SUMMARY:MV Andaman (1953)
DESCRIPTION:The MV Andaman was a Swedish motor cargo vessel built in 1947 by A/B Götaverken of Gothenburg for A/B Svenska Ostasiatiska Kompaniet\, the Swedish East Asiatic Company. She was a modern post-war cargo ship of about 4\,765 tons\, measuring roughly 134 metres long\, with a beam of about 17.8 metres\, powered by oil engines. On her final voyage she was bound from Gothenburg to Calcutta\, a long-haul trade route cut short in the thick fog of the Dover Strait\, because the Channel has always treated visibility as an optional extra. \nOn 24 May 1953\, Andaman collided with the Panamanian steamer Fortune about 3 miles south of the South Goodwin Lightvessel. She began sinking\, and her 38 crew abandoned ship into two boats. The Dover lifeboat launched\, but the crew had already been picked up by the SS Arthur Wright\, before being transferred to the lifeboat and landed at Dover. No lives were lost. For divers\, Andaman is a fine post-war Channel wreck: a substantial Swedish cargo ship\, lost in fog near the Goodwins\, with a clean rescue story and enough size\, structure and atmosphere to make her far more than a name on a chart.

SUMMARY:Unidentified Wreck – Offshore
DESCRIPTION:Some wrecks come with a name\, a date\, a cargo list and a tidy little story. These do not. These are the unknown marks\, the offshore shadows\, the lumps of steel\, timber and machinery that sit on the seabed with their history still locked inside them. They might be a forgotten collier\, a wartime casualty\, a sailing vessel\, a trawler\, a barge\, a steamer\, or something nobody expected to find there at all. That is the pull of an unidentified wreck: you are not visiting a museum label. You are stepping into the investigation. \nThese dives are for curious divers who like a bit of mystery with their slack water. The wreck may have been rarely dived\, poorly recorded\, misidentified\, or never properly explored. There may be no neat answer waiting on the shotline\, which is half the fun and also the reason humans keep buying expensive torches and calling it a hobby. Look for clues: boilers\, engines\, winches\, cargo\, crockery\, ballast\, armament\, construction details\, anything that might help bring a lost name back from the seabed. You are not booking a routine wreck dive. You are joining a proper offshore puzzle\, and the next clue might be yours.

SUMMARY:SV Mindora (1864)
DESCRIPTION:The Mindora was a British three-masted barque\, reportedly constructed in August 1864 and measuring about 41.5 metres long. She was a newly built sailing vessel\, bound outward from London to Victoria\, British Columbia\, carrying passengers and what contemporary reports describe as a valuable general cargo. That phrase does a lot of heavy lifting\, as Victorian shipping reports often preferred suspense over inventory\, presumably to torment future wreck researchers for sport. Local dive accounts place the wreck in the 30 to 32 metre range off Dover. \nHer career was brutally short. On 28 November 1864\, Mindora collided in the English Channel with the Khersonese\, another outward-bound sailing ship\, reportedly on passage from London to Calcutta. Contemporary shipwreck listings place the collision about 8 nautical miles south-west by west of South Foreland\, with Mindora sinking and the other vessel abandoned in a sinking condition. For divers\, this is a proper Victorian mystery wreck: a young barque lost almost as soon as her story began\, a collision in one of the world’s busiest sea lanes\, and a seabed site that still gives up small clues from a long-vanished age of sail.

SUMMARY:HMT Étoile Polaire (1915)
DESCRIPTION:HMT Étoile Polaire was a steel-hulled Admiralty trawler built in 1915 by J. T. Eltringham & Co.\, at Willington Quay. She was a small but purposeful vessel of 278 tons\, originally built for Rémy & Huret of Boulogne\, although her exact owner at the time of loss seems a little uncertain. Hired into Admiralty service in 1915\, she joined the Dover Patrol’s dangerous minesweeping and patrol work around the Goodwins\, where small trawlers were asked to do large and lethal jobs. Admiralty optimism really was something to behold. \nOn 3 December 1915\, Étoile Polaire struck a mine and sank off the South Goodwins. The minefield is recorded as having been laid by the German minelaying submarine UC-1\, commanded by Kapitänleutnant Egon von Werner. Her wreck has had a confusing afterlife: Canterbury Divers and Historic England both note that a site once listed as HMT Cayton Wyke was positively identified as Étoile Polaire when her bell was recovered. The wreck lies in about 27 metres\, stands up to 5 metres proud\, and is described as fairly intact\, with a blown-off bow\, open holds\, intact stern and surviving superstructure. For divers\, this is a cracking Dover Patrol wreck: compact\, atmospheric\, strongly identified\, and close enough to the Goodwins to add that little pinch of “this place has been eating ships for centuries”.

SUMMARY:SS Laristan (1899) & SS Denbighshire (1887)
DESCRIPTION:This is a lovely little double-header for a dive listing\, mostly because the two wrecks sit so close together that identity confusion was almost inevitable. SS Laristan was the younger of the pair\, a British cargo steamer built in 1896 at Gray’s Yard\, Hartlepool\, owned by the Anglo-Algerian Steamship Co. On 22 October 1899\, she was carrying iron ore from Bona to Rotterdam when she collided off the Goodwins with the SS Crimea of Cardiff. Her crew of 23 stayed with her for a time as she settled head-down\, stern still showing\, before an internal air-pressure explosion sent her under. No polite little sinking here\, then. Even the final act had drama. \nClose beside her lies the older Denbighshire\, lost in 1887 and later identified by her recovered bell. Historic England notes her wreck lies close to Laristan\, while Canterbury Divers describes the Denbighshire as sitting only about 10 metres from the bigger Laristan\, in a maximum depth of about 31 metres\, standing around 5 metres proud. For divers\, the appeal is obvious: two Victorian wreck stories in one dive\, one a cargo steamer loaded with iron ore\, the other an earlier casualty close enough to turn the seabed into a historical puzzle. It is a cracking Dover site for anyone who likes machinery\, structure and a little identity intrigue with their slack water.

SUMMARY:SS Loanda (1908)
DESCRIPTION:The wreck divers know as SS Loanda was an Elder Dempster Line steamer\, built in 1891\, not 1906\, so the date in brackets looks like it may need checking before it goes live. She was a 2\,702-ton steamship\, powered by triple-expansion engines\, and measured about 100 metres long by 12 metres wide. On her final voyage she was travelling from Hamburg to West Africa when she collided with the Russian steamer Junona off the Kent coast. The impact badly damaged her port side near the engine room\, and although an attempt was made to save her\, she sank under tow on 31 May 1908. Because apparently even being rescued wasn’t enough to stop the Channel having the last word. \nFor divers\, Loanda is one of those wrecks that rewards curiosity as much as good buoyancy. She lies upright in roughly 17 to 23 metres\, standing several metres proud\, with exposed engine remains\, an intact propeller\, and a cargo story worthy of a Victorian dockside whisper. Reports mention gin and champagne bottles\, clay pipes\, perfume bottles\, trading beads\, and the persistent tale of newly minted shillings\, although the shilling story is not supported by the manifest. It’s shallow\, atmospheric\, artifact-rich and very much a slack-water dive\, the kind of Dover wreck where every broken bottle and clay pipe feels like it has been waiting 116 years to be noticed.

SUMMARY:SS Filleigh (1945)
DESCRIPTION:The SS Filleigh was a British steam cargo ship built in 1928\, registered at 4\,856 gross tons\, and measuring about 121.9 metres long\, with a 16.8 metre beam and 7.9 metre depth. She was owned by St Just Steamship Co. Ltd\, managed by W. R. Smith & Sons of London\, and by 1945 she was still doing the hard\, risky work of wartime supply. On her final voyage she was sailing from London to Antwerp with around 6\,000 tons of military stores\, which rather raises the stakes from “ordinary coaster” to “floating target with paperwork”. \nAt 05:55 on 18 April 1945\, only weeks before the end of the war in Europe\, Filleigh was torpedoed by U-245\, commanded by Oberleutnant zur See Friedrich Schumann-Hindenberg\, while in convoy off the North Foreland / Dover Strait area. The same attack also sank the Norwegian ship Karmt. Filleigh went down with the loss of five crewmen\, while her master\, 37 crew\, 10 DEMS gunners and a Belgian pilot were rescued and landed at Dover. For divers\, this is a powerful late-war wreck: a large cargo steamer\, military cargo\, a U-boat attack in the final days of the Battle of the Atlantic\, and a site lying in about 50 metres. Not a casual potter\, then. More a proper Channel wreck with teeth.
