Notes : |
This wreck is lying on her starboard side and is broken up a mid-ships just afet the aft bridge gun.. The stern and bow guns are still in place and I was amazed by the size of them.. There is access to the crews quarters at the bow of the ship by a by a hole in the deck at the tip of the bow, forward from this is the anchor room and the chains are still there coiled on the drums.. The bridge is impressive but you must find out why for yourself..

The WW1 German fleet surrendered. The crews later revolted and scuttled their own ships. It was quite unexpected and many shi[s are still there.

I dived the Brummer two years ago and will be going back to dive it this August. Can send you a photo and more details if you want.

Dived last Sept and enjoyed two seal sightings. Sign erectors probably left the men at work road sign atop the wreck. Managed some available light photos using 1600 ASA print. First dived 1982 - still a great dive in 97.

I dived the Brummer (again!) in September. It is now more of a seal haven than ever, which provides yet another reason to dive a top wreck.
Watch out for the Connells Estate Agent's Board which someone has managed to attach to one of the gun turrets!
