Empress Of Britain
For the last few months on and off, I have being looking into organise a trip to the above wreck.
I have found a skipper with a proper boat, lift the works.
Ok so its 69 miles out to sea, I can live with that.
But its 167m, for some reason I thought it was just over 40m

So I think its time to elect a new DO for YD Ire

Ken

and its upside down!, standing 30m or so up off the seabed... so you could be on the top at 140

think of what plastic bog handles would turn into at that depth!

69 miles out, i reckon 19 and a half Kitkat's and a box of Sturgeron will get me out there. when can we reserve a space for hanging over the side?
