A decent dive leading onto the very broken remains of the SS Britannia. The ship ran aground and was wrecked in thick fog on 25 September 1915, while on passage from Newcastle upon Tyne for Leith with a general cargo. The Forster Fawsett from Seahouses, a self-righting 10.7-m oared lifeboat, was launched at 0620 hrs and rescued seven ofher crew of nineteen. Unfortunately, two men had already drowned, while the other ten had succeeded in getting ashore in one of the ship’s boats. The Britannia IIII (Official No. 91078) was an iron-hulled 727-ton steam passenger/cargo vessel measuring 64.10 m in length, with an 8.24-m beam and a 4.57-m draught.
