ALARM - Northumberland & Northeast

The Alarm, a lightship sunk back in 1911, sits upright on the seabed at 27 metres. Built of iron by W.H. Potter and Sons, she’s a sturdy wreck with plenty of character. We’ve found her to be a good spot for exploring the davits and the large chain locker, which is usually open. Expect to see plenty of local life - crabs, lobsters, and often a decent amount of pollock hovering around the structure. She’s a solid dive for those comfortable with deeper wrecks, offering a slice of maritime history that’s well colonised by the North Sea’s inhabitants.
