We
teamed up with a business man who owned a 36ft
boat laid up in Bridlington harbour.
He
supplied the boat and the airlift equipment to
suck the sand and and silt out of the wreck we
thought was the wreck we were searching for, but
later found that it was not the wreck (1903 shell
found)
After a day
out looking for the wreck
We thought
we had located the wreck 9 miles east of
Bridlington harbour.
The position was about
the same as the last reported sinking of the ship
plus the measurements of the length and breadth
were the same.
But unfortunately we found a
shell that was dated 1903 (our ship sunk in 1883)
We were
asked to search a local pond for the remains of
guns etc
Mike Oxlades son Neil, and Karl
Stephenson undertook the diving.
Nothing was
found.
Coming in
after a dive.
Mike
Oxlade, Karl Stephenson purchased this RIB to
search for our wreck.
Ready
to dive on a wreck.
At the
present time of creating this web page November
2000, we intend to carry on searching for our
wreck (waiting for summer 2001)
