Wreck Dives
|
The S.S. Laurentic is located at a depth of 40
meters. This sea wreck lies at the mouth of the
Lough Swilly, on a seabed of gravel. The
Laurentic is the wreck, scuba divers dream of!
This vessel 550 feet long, was owned by the
White Star Company and was
a passenger liner built by Harland and Wolff.
It was after she left Buncrana bound for
Halifax, Nova Scotia that she struck by a mine
at the mouth of Lough Swilly and sank. |
 |
Part of her cargo was 43 tonnes of Gold bars and
a huge quantity of silver coins. The Gold bars
have all been recovered apart from 20 still
missing. The silver coins have never been found.
So The Laurentic is still of great interest to
divers. Sea life life is in abundance on and
around this wreck.
