The south western coast of England has no lack of shipwrecks, and this second volume of The Wreckers Guide To South West Devon traces the history, fate and rediscovery by scuba divers of another collection of wrecks around Plymouth. Packed full of rare archive photos and previously obscure information trawled from maritime history records, each wreck featured in The Wrecker’s Guide has been dived extensively by author Peter Mitchell, providing first hand insight into what remains and what these shipwrecks can still tell us of their past.

By sheer chance I have today discovered a report (within Memoriam , Sub.Lt.Robert Troath R.N.V.R.) of, inter alia the counter attack and sinking of U 390 at about 1600 on 05/06/1944 by H.M.S. Tavy assisted by H.M.S.Wanderer. Some years ago was in touch with Innes McCartney and asked if a dive was to be undertaken in the future, but no reply. Within the report it seems there has been a dive by “a New Zealand ” team ??? do you know anything about it please ? were any ‘pix’ taken ?
Kind regards, I.B. ex Midshipman G.O. of Tavy.
