Details: Ok, i can see this wreck turning into a compulsion for me. The weather was bleak and overcast, but regardless i wanted to explore this wreck further and try to get some pics. After 10minutes or so i was onto the wreck and it gave me plenty of time to poke around. It really is a massive wreck and there’s plenty of holes in the hull, an impressive bow, and other odds and sods to explore. A bit of rigging was nice find. It was sad to find a draughtboard shark with a fishhook in its mouth and the attached line snagged amongst some weed. Unfortunately i made the mistake of untangling the line before taking the hook out, and it swam off dragging a heavy sinker behind it.
