ROSENEATH - Northumberland & Northeast

The Roseneath, a three-masted barque, went down in 1889 and now lies broken on the seabed, her remains spread across a relatively flat area. It's a proper British wreck dive, generally for those with some experience in colder, often lower visibility conditions. We've found the stern section is usually the most identifiable part, with rudder stock still present, and a good spot for spotting the resident lobsters and crab. You’ll be looking for the outline of her 57-meter length, which has become a decent home for wolfish and the occasional ling. It’s not a deep dive, but we'd suggest going at slack water to avoid a workout against the current.
