Diving off the retarrier ledges this was concreted into the bottom. There are several wrecks here most notably the Schiller, a German transatlantic steam packet wrecked on the 7th of May in 1875 with a loss of 335 lives. It was coined the victorian Titanic in recent times and is well broken up by harsh tides and heavily salvaged by visitors and locals alike so archaeology is difficult. It holds some nice cutlery and rumours of coins with good examples of engineering from Glasgow and England! All in all a nice find with something to report to the receiver of wreck on returning.
