SNOWDROP (POSSIBLY) - Scottish East Coast & Borders

The Snowdrop, a fishing vessel sunk in 1973 after a collision, lies scattered across the seabed at 17 metres. Her wooden hull is mostly broken up now, so you're not seeing a grand, intact ship, but rather a field of debris. Look for the oil engine and parts of the single shaft, which give clues to her working life. It's a site for those who appreciate history and enjoy poking around distributed remains. Expect to find a fair amount of local marine life sheltering amongst the wreckage, though nothing particularly exotic. We've seen various crabs and small fish making homes in the crevices.
