A bit more info for you I have dived this wreck a few times it is very close to the shore about
200m from the menai bridge there is a lot of bits and peices on the shore at low tide, on the
wreck which is very broken there are plenty of brass rivets about 6 feets long with the crows
foot stamps about every 2 inches they polish up very nicely so im told!! there are also a lot
of unidetifiable bits of wood, obviously made for something ie cylider shapes about as big as
a mug and wooden hoops about 4 inches across all with the crows foot stamp still visible
diving is posible from the shore but with a very difficult walk a shot line from the shore to the
wreck is advisable and when the current starts to flow some means of anchoring yourself to
the wreck is essential
