Notes : |
Very broken up and full of live ammunition ! Also REMEMBER 17 crew went down with her so some respect please, there are bones around on the seabed, so no souvenirs. We retrieved a box of grenades off her last year-that went back into the briney when we realised what was in the box- be careful two big depth charges around the stern also !

It seems to me that some people that have left comments about this wreck deserve to be blown up. HAVE YOU NO COMMON SENSE or RESPECT FOR THE DEAD you should be ashamed of yourselves. Eating the lobster is fine though.
