The Wilhelmina Agatha is one of those wrecks that just grabs you. We love her because she’s a proper ship, still very much a ship, rather than a pile of scattered debris. Dropping down, you’ll find her mostly intact, her hull upright on the seabed. It’s a fantastic rummage dive. You can poke around the superstructure, peer into holds that often shelter schooling pollack and cod, and imagine the crew going about their duties. The local marine life has really made her home. Expect to see plenty of wolfish tucked into crevices – keep an eye out for their grumpy faces. Conger eels are often found coiled within the deeper sections, and we’ve seen some huge ones here. The visibility can be a bit variable, as it often is off the Northumberland coast, but on a good day, the light penetrating the wreck’s interior is quite atmospheric. We’d suggest diving her on a neap tide for the most comfortable experience, as currents can pick up. Definitely one for the wreck lovers, and those who appreciate a bit of history beneath the waves.
