EVERSFIELD - Northumberland & Northeast

The EVERSFIELD is a proper little time capsule, a steamship that went down way back in 1888. It sits at a manageable 11 metres, making it approachable for most divers, and frankly, it’s one of our favourite North Sea wrecks for character. We love how the metalwork has softened with age, draped in dead man’s fingers and anemones, making every outline a bit blurry. You'll find the wreck spread out, but clearly recognisable as a ship, with plates and ribs giving structure to the seabed. Look for the boilers, which are still very much intact, standing proud from the main debris field. They’re a real magnet for crab, and we’ve often found a curious lobster peeking out from a crevice there. The surrounding seabed can be silty, so good buoyancy control is key if you want to keep the visibility crisp, especially around the deeper sections of the wreck. It’s a great site for photographers who enjoy macro life and the textures of a long-gone ship.
