New Wreck off Anglesey

[Allan Carr]

On the BBC website. Could be an interesting new wreck site in 50M of water.

I wonder if anyone has ever caught video of a large vessel sinking from an underwater perspective, must look very cool especially if the water is clear.

£245,000 ??

No people on board, no fuel on board. It's almost as if someone was mitigating the risk of it sinking in those calm conditions.

I hope the current / new owners had it insured.

It is a pity no one sank the original Oliver Cromwell before he made it across the Irish Sea!

Probably no fuel, because there are no engines. Looks like a dumb barge with a false paddle wheel bolted to the back. Probably hooked up to shore power.

You can see a prop on the photos of it sinking, so it's not a dumb barge. The paddle wheel is definitely a dummy. It was static before it was sold, so the engines may have been removed to create space. If there were still engines, it's doubtful they were in serviceable condition.
