Full Description
There are several more offshore shipwrecks according to local tradition.
The metal wreckage of a ship was found at this location in 2022 during SCAPE Coastal Zone Assessment Survey, although it is also suggested that this wreckage may have been that of the SS Anna, which ran aground in 1959 (MAB851).
