Brigitta or ‘T’ Pot Wreck

When she went down the Brigitta was fairly intact, until it was further destroyed by another passing vessel. This exploded the insides of the wreck exposing it to the sea bed. There is now a cardinal marker denoting the wreck

At the back is an intact prop that is proud of the sea floor and is astonishing in its size. It is worth circumnavigating the whole hull with a strong beamed torch as there are swim-throughs that are not safe but harbour many creatures that need the cover for protection.

 

One of the creatures that needs protection: 

There is a fair chance you will see one of these or at least one of its land based relatives

This wreck often unearths pieces of crockery and has lost of life on it.

 HMS P12

Cut clean in half, the bow and stern sections now lie over half a mile apart. The stern section being the larger is more interesting sitting upright on a shingle seabed.
