HEBE - Northumberland & Northeast

The HEBE, a steamship that went down in 1911, offers a deep dive into history off the Northumberland coast. We’re talking about an 84-meter vessel here, now resting at a max depth of 1 meter. This isn't a site for deep exploration, but rather a chance to get up close with a wreck that’s been thoroughly colonized by the North Sea. Expect to see the bones of the ship, particularly those two large boilers, often shrouded in kelp and home to crabs and blennies. It’s a site best suited for calm days when the sea is flat, making for easier access and better visibility into the structure.
