#WreckOfTheWeek
MV Kowloon Bridge ran aground off southwest Cork in a storm on 24/11/1986. At 294m, it's one of the largest shipwrecks in Irish waters seen here in our 2019 survey data at Stags Rock.

Tried to find the Leeds penthouse mentioned in @guardian but must have been a while ago; we were so glad that we’d almost completed on our cottage when it was #WreckOfTheWeek

Our #WreckoftheWeek #WWII War Diary this month uncovers the events #OTDH 80 years ago in 1940 when @RNLI came to the rescue of the #Latvian cargo vessel Talvaldis, under attack by Stukas, and whose history between the end of August 1939 and her final voyage is obscure.
A belated #ShipwreckSaturday this week! Today's #WreckoftheWeek is Ming Dynasty Longqing Era (1567-1572CE) merchantman Nan'ao 1. Excavated in 2010, its in 27m water off Shantou at the entrance to Taiwan Strait, and is China's only wreck dated to the Ming Ban! 🍶🌊

For #VEDay75 #WreckoftheWeek commemorates the very last craft lost to war causes in English waters just one day before Victory in Europe was celebrated #OTDH 7 May 1945 - a B17 #FlyingFortress struggling back from a humanitarian mission to Europe. https://t.co/jhonCJw9Vb
During #lockdown, why not dive into our past #WreckoftheWeek posts? As a taster: maritime archaeology is fascinatingly diverse - take a look at what happened when a diver, an @HistoricEngland researcher, and @RCMMuseum got together to solve a mystery: https://t.co/pJRBxA76F2

Our latest #WreckoftheWeek post pieces together the sparse clues in contemporary press reports to tell the story of the Capitaine Augustin, a French collier mined in the #ThamesEstuary in March 1940 #WW2 #WWII https://t.co/17KG2C4IdO
#WreckoftheWeek celebrates British Science Week #BSW20 with a post from @HistoricEngland @HE_Archaeology Materials Scientist Dr Sarah Paynter, who explains how analysing glass from the sea can shed light on wreck sites, from cargo to ship's structure https://t.co/iimhXD2yHj
In this month's #WreckoftheWeek #WW2 Diary we look at an unusual aircraft, Blackburn Botha L6111, which ditched in the sea on a test flight #OTDH 80 years ago in 1940. https://t.co/Z0FBHTdS6d
Is this a wreck inside a wreck? #OTDH 1946 Fort Massac sank in the #Thames off #Harwich bound to #CapeTown with a consignment of #Yorkshire and #Teesside exports, including, we think, RSH loco 2734. See our #WreckoftheWeek post https://t.co/qXZ1JDYXU3 #industrialheritage
