This 3707 Ton steamship built in 1910 by W Pickersgill & Sons of Sunderland was on a voyage from the Kent Downs to St Nazaire with a cargo of coal when she struck a mine laid by UC-71 on 10 May 1918. This explosion blew the winch and 12 Pounder gun off the poop deck. The crew took to the boats and made their way into Dover harbour.
Diving: The wreck lies up to 12m proud in a max depth of 34m only a few miles outside of Dover Harbour. She is quite intact and there are lots of areas that can be looked into and penetrated and its all quite clean and free of obstructions.The 12 Pounder Gun and some shell cases are lying on the seabed off of her stern.
