Ullswater Wreck

[divetheworld]

In memory of Steve Carmichael-Timson 1958 - 2008

[divetheworld]

The vessel was built in the Clyde for a minor celebrity racing driver in the 1920s and it was lost in the 1930s. I've have managed to trace the family of the owner so we know all about it now even the type of engine that it has.

Nice video - also nice to see a wreck that hasn't had its portholes crowbared out only to end up rotting in the back of someone's garage.

Don't give out the coordinates or it WILL get plundered

[divetheworld]

I totally agree. You don't think I told jonnybroadbent aged 17 the real position did you? (grin)

[divetheworld]

I have no intention of giving out the position to anyone because, as you say, it will just get plundered. I've reported the find to the local Ranger and if anyone plunders it (AKA Steals artifacts) they will get more than a bit pissed off and I can see restrictions being slapped on divers who want to dive Ullswater.

where abouts near pooley bridge? is it near where the steamer docks in?

[divetheworld]

Yes

[jonnybroadbent]

where abouts in ullswater is this wreck cos i go to ullswater every year so i wanna know where bouts it is, write back on eya

[divetheworld]

Sorry but I'm not giving away the position to anyone. The Nautical Archaeology Society has the position and they are investigating it. There are far too many artifacts on the wreck and I don't want the Lump Hammer and Crowbar gang going down on her.

[jonnybroadbent]

im only 17, i aint gunna go down i dont ave no equipment or owt, i jus wanna know is it near pooley bridge??? cos i go near there

[divetheworld]

So you're only 17 are you? I'm so sorry, I didn't realise. Would you like the GPS coordinates or would you like the transits?

[jonnybroadbent]

lol i dunno, but is it near pooley bridge?

[divetheworld]

Yes it is. I think you should spend a lot of time searching for her around Pooley Bridge and you're sure to find her. LOL

What ever happened to the Ullswater that I knew?

[divetheworld]

I have no idea what you mean by that. If you're a diver then check out the video if not it looks pretty much the same as it did before I got there. (grin)
