SHIPWRECKS OF THE ISLANDMAGEE,MAIDENS AND BELFAST LOUGH AREAS
The following shipwrecks are all within easy reach of the Islandmagee
area. The majority of them are easily found however some of them
have yet to be located. The area is well known for its superb diving
and if you are not interested in wreck diving there are plenty of scenic
dives, drift dives, shore dives and drop offs ranging from 15m to over
60m at the Maidens.
The Maidens, a group of 9 rocks some 6 miles north of Larne
hold the most spectacular diving of all. Its isolated location and
strong tides have led to the area being rarely dived. With local
knowledge and neap tides the clear waters of the Maidens are a must
for visiting divers. All of the wrecks lie between 5m - 18m of water
with one, the ‘Housatonic’ extending down to 35m.

The following known ships have been wrecked on or near Skernaghan Point
however they have not been located as yet:-
The sloop ‘ROBERTS’ in 1811 she was carrying glass and china and was washed into Browns Bay during a snow storm.
The Barque ‘J.E. HUDSON’ in 1827.
The Brig ‘ALPHA’ in 1827.
The Steamer ‘TUSKAR’ on 27th November 1891 she was 397 Gross Tons and
was carrying 100 Tons of Limestone from Glenarm.

HARRINGTON:- Disp:- 1,000 Tons - Length 200ft.
GPS:- N 54 51.124
W 05 47.355
The Harrington was leaving Larne when she got a rope entangled in her
propeller. Before her anchor could bring her up she grounded at the
extreme end of Ferris Point and became a total loss. Her crew were
all rescued by breeches budy and when she finally broke up her cargo of
potatoes was strewn all over the Island shore. She is badly broken
up and rarely dived. Lying in 3 - 6m of water she is an excellent
shore dive. There are lots of congers lurking in the wreckage.
Access is best from Ballylumford with good car parking. Beware of
large ferries entering and leaving Larne Harbour. Visibility is usually
3-6m.
GEORGE - BRIGANTINE - Wrecked 20th December 1876.
GPS:- N 54 51.052
W 05 47.355
The George of Workington had been built in 1796 at Aberystwith, she
ended her career on the rocks between Ballylumford Harbour and the present
lighthouse on Ferris Point. She is lying in 5m of water and badly
broken up. This is an easy shore dive to access from a small slipway
North of the harbour. She should only be dived when ferries are not
operating and divers should not go any deeper than 7m or stray into the
main channel. Be aware that the engine noise from ships entering
Larne harbour can be quite frightening if you are not used to it.
Visibility usually 3-6m.
The steamer ‘FERRIC’-
Wrecked 16th January 1905.
GPS:- N 54 52.502
W 05 49.185
The Ferric which was owned by H.J. Scott was en-route from Ayr to Larne
with coal. She battled a South Easterly gale all the way across the
channel but failed to get into Larne and ended up on the rocks at the Black
Arch, North of Larne. Her entire crew landed safely but the Ferric
was a total loss. She is very badly broken up and lying in 3 - 8m
of water. She is rarely dived and little has been recovered from
her. She can be dived at any state of the tide, but avoid springs.
Visibility 5 - 10m in the kelp.
ROSE II - Armed Trawler - mined during 1st world war.
GPS:- N 54 44.307
W 05 38.756
Displacement:- 100Tons - Length 120ft - Beam:-20ft. The Rose
II was an armed trawler which would appear to have struck a mine and sank
in Belfast Lough during World War I. She is sitting upright on the
seabed at 26m, 21m to the bridge. Lying in a East - West direction
with her entire bow blown off. This is an excellent wreck for divers
to gain experience on however there are some unexploded spigot mortars
lying around - DO NOT TOUCH. There are plenty of Scallops to lift
instead. Visibility 5 - 15m.
Launching at Whitehead 2 hours before or after low water Belfast and
from Bangor at any time.
KARANAN:- Dutch Coaster - Sank 20th January 1942.
GPS:- N 54 42.805
W 05 31.768
Disp:- 395 Tons - Length:- 180ft - Beam 35ft. The Karanan was
en-route from Liverpool to Belfast with a general cargo of foodstuffs,
batteries, copper piping, anti aircraft gun parts etc. When she collided
with the steam tanker ‘British Engineer’. Her starboard side was
stove in and she quickly sank with two of her crew being lost. She
is lying in a West - East direction on her port side, with extensive damage
to starboard side just forward from the bridge. At 34m to the highest
part and 43m to the seabed she is a very advanced dive. The strong
tides mean that she can only be dived at slack water. Best dived
½ hour before High Water - Belfast. Visibility can be up to
20m - average 6-10m. There are quite a few port holes left.
Launching from Whitehead 2 hours before or 2 hours after low water
Belfast, or from Bangor and Carrickfergus at any time.
TEANUA - Scooner -Sank at anchor 1976-
GPS:- N 54 49.691
W 05 45.754
The Teanua an elderly schooner sank while at anchor at Ballydown in
Larne Lough. She can be dived at any state of the tide, however visibility
is poor as the sea bed is mud. The only consolations are the lobsters
living in the nooks and crannnies. She almost breaks the surface
at low tide and the sea bed in only 5m. Launching from Ballylumford,
or from the shore at Ballydown, Islandmagee.
BERBICE - Large Square Rigger - wrecked 1st January 1827.
GPS:- N 54 51.221
W 05 46.187
The four Masted square rigger Berbice en-route from Greenock to Havana
with coal was swept into Browns Bay on 1/1/1827 and broke up several days
later. Her exact location is not confirmed however a large anchor
located on the South West side of the Bay would indicate that this is the
final resting place of the Berbice. The site can be accessed from
the shore. Little is left of the wreck which lies in 3 -5m of water
however you may be lucky as it is very rarely dived. Visibility is
usually 5 - 10m.
CANNONS:- 3 Bronze 16th Century. C1559 -1580.
GPS:- N 54 50.424
W 05 46.903
Three 16th Century Bronze Cannons were found a few years ago in an
ancient anchorage in Larne Lough. The Cannons were cast by a London
foundry called Owens and were dated 1559, the enscription read ‘ELYSABETH
REGYNA’ ‘Thomas and John Owyn Made Thys Pese Anno DNI 1559. There
is no known record of any H.M. Ships entering Larne Lough in a damaged
state. It is known however, that around the end of the 16th Century
when there was a fear of a Scottish invasion, merchant ships landed armaments
round the coast of Northern Ireland. It is possible that these cannons
were lost accidentally. This site has been rarely dived after the
discovery of an anti submarine rocket in the diving area.
These Cannons can now be inspected in the White Tower of London.
WOODS - Brig
GPS:- N 54 50.773
W 05 42.786
Wrecked March 1827 - The Brig ‘Woods’ was wrecked on the South Eastern
point of Muck Island during hard gales in early March 1827. Remains
located so far are anchor chains lying in 24m of water to the South East
of the Island. She is rarely dived and no doubt more will be discovered
in the near future. There are plenty of scallops off the East side
of the Island and it is an excellent area for crab and octopus. She
can only be dived at slack water i.e. 1 hr before High or Low Water at
Belfast. Visibility 5 - 15m.
Launching from Portmuck at high tide or Ballylumford, Islandmagee.
ULRICA: - Iron Square Rigger -Wrecked 7th January
1897.
GPS:- N 54 41.750
W 05 31.660
The large 4 Masted iron square rigged ship ‘Urica’ lay hove-to off
Dublin Bay in a refreshing South Easterly wind on 6th January 1897 at the
end of a 137 day passage from San Francisco. As darkness fell the
ship was blown Northwards by the increasing gale. Captain John Johnston
could do nothing but to steer for shelter of Belfast Lough. At 430am
she grounded on Old Lighthouse Island and became a total loss. Her
entire crew of 28 were saved. She once sailed 370 miles in one day
on a voyage to Australia. She is badly broken up and lying in 10m
of water on the North West side of Old Lighthouse Island. She is
an excellent dive for the beginner and there are plenty of scallops in
the area. Can be dived at nearly all states of the tide. Visibility
can be 10 -15m.
Launching from Bangor, Donaghadee or Whitehead.
