GLORY - Cornwall & Devon

The Glory, a Brixham-registered trawler built in 1906, now rests just off the coast, a relic from a bygone era. Her 19.1m hull, damaged in 1938 after breaking moorings, is well-colonised. We've seen conger eels tucked into shadowy nooks and small wrasse darting around the remaining timbers. It’s a shallow dive, so you get decent bottom time to explore the skeletal remains of her superstructure, offering a glimpse into early 20th-century fishing vessels. This site is ideal for those interested in maritime history and macro life, a gentle exploration rather than a deep penetration.
