Notes : |
THIS IS A SERIOUS UNDERTAKING, and fatalities have occured on this wreck.. It may be still bouyed with a small red bouy. The orginal name was Frimley and it sailed under the Anchor line. Rigging is still in place as is the decking, and the anchor chains are out either side... Please Take care because the tides are bad and the bottom is well beyond sports diving recreational limits...
