: According to Lloyds register this ship sank on 25.02.45 due to unknown cause, but given the fact it is currently in 2 pieces & the year it was sank I suspect a violent end, maybe a mine?

: It was a 60m long cable layer built in 1918 in Newcastle, hired by the Admiralty in 1940 for war duties.

: I havn't dived it so don't know the depth but I understand that its featured in Dive Kent.

: If anyone has any more info on this wreck, could they post a reply please.
