Wreck of Unnamed Shipwreck - Canmore 102252

This "unnamed" wreck is actually one of Scapa Flow's hidden treasures, often overshadowed by the bigger German fleet wrecks. We know it better as the Blockship *Goliath*, scuttled in 1914. Dropping down, you're immediately struck by how intact it remains, a proper old steamship sitting upright on the seabed. It’s got a real character to it. We love exploring the fore and aft sections, where the bows and stern are still quite defined. Keep an eye out for the resident conger eels peeking from the darker recesses and the feathery tentacles of plumose anemones coating almost every surface. The bridge area is usually a good spot for wrasse and even the occasional inquisitive grey seal. We’d suggest diving this one on a slack tide for the best visibility, as strong currents can stir things up a bit. It’s an accessible wreck, not too deep, making it a great option for divers looking for a less challenging Scapa dive but still wanting that incredible sense of history.
