TACOMA CITY (PART OF) - Northumberland & Northeast

The Tacoma City wreck is a good, accessible dive if you’re exploring the Northumberland coast. We’ve found her at 11 metres, meaning plenty of bottom time to take in the sheer scale of the old steamship. She went down in 1941, a substantial vessel at over 120 metres long, and while broken, there are still impressive sections of hull plates and ribs to navigate. Keep an eye out for the three large boilers – they often hold lobsters and conger eels. We like this site for its history and the way the local wrasse and cod have made it home; a solid choice for temperate wreck enthusiasts.
