STJERNVIK - Scottish East Coast & Borders

The Stjernvik, a steamship built back in 1883, went down in 1928 and now rests at a substantial 47 metres. It’s a deep dive, making it one for experienced wreck enthusiasts comfortable with technical profiles. The ship's structure, around 73 metres long, is still pretty coherent, with two boilers and a compound expansion engine visible. We’ve found plenty of lobsters tucked into crevices, and dead man’s fingers drape over the metalwork, adding a soft, colourful layer to the steel. Visibility can be hit or miss, typical for the East Coast, so pick a calm day with minimal tidal movement to get the most out of it.
