THE STEWARTS COURT - Scottish East Coast & Borders

The Stewart's Court, a steamship sunk in 1918, lies at a manageable 20 metres, a good depth for extended bottom time. We found her to be quite broken up, but you can still pick out the single boiler and some of the engine components, giving you a real sense of her scale. It's an interesting dive for those who appreciate maritime history and don't mind a bit of a rummage amongst the collapsed structure. Expect to see plenty of local wrasse darting through the metalwork, and we've often spotted conger eels tucked into the more sheltered spots. While it’s not a massive intact wreck, the historical context and the way marine life has integrated with the remains make it a worthwhile trip.
