Submerged Special Reports

This is a mix of shipwreck-related research that I've done both in Devon and around the world about particular topics, rather than an individual wreck.

  • Tombstones
    The history of many wrecks can be deciphered from forgotten tombstones in local graveyards. Here are some of the histories I've found
  • Submarines
    The histories of several submarines lost around Devon and UBoats on display within Europe
  • The Ones That Got Away
  • Not every shipwreck is lost to the sea - some manage to be reclaimed. Here are the histories of several boats that came back.

  • Marine Archaeology
  • Some great wrecks can be found lovingly preserved in museums - here are some of the most interesting I've found

  • Bombs And Bullets
  • Diving around Plymouth is hard to avoid military ordinance, from cannonballs to artillery shells. Here's a guide as to what to avoid handling...

  • Wreck Walks
  • Even if you can't get in the water, there are fascinating wreck walks where you can see shipwreck history on land

  • South Africa
    The Shipwreck Trail is a great way to explore South Africa's stunning coastline
