Landing Craft Wreck, Milford Haven.

[McBad]

Hi. Does anyone have an accurate Lat & Long for this wreck? It is a small landing craft upside down somewhere near the Angle life-boat station, across from where the LNG terminal works are. It's in about 10 - 15m of water.

Thanks.

I might have at home, I know I've done the site.

If I don't reply to you later PM me to remind me what I'm supposed to be doing (I've a memory like a goldfish).

Thanks Craig - if I don't here from you I will PM you. I've also done this wreck but it was off a hard boat and I didn't make any careful note as to where we were when we jumped off. Even having jumped off we just swam in a random direction and swam into the wreck almost by accident...

Attempting to do it again yesterday proved a non-starter. Like looking for a needle in a haystack...

Cheers,

The co-ordinates I have are from Len Bateman's (who skippers the Predator) book:

51 39 58N
05 07 02W

I think they are accurate as he's the one who dropped me on it last time.

Good luck.

Thanks Craig and Parahandy.

I know there are a few landing craft, inside and outside the haven. They seem to have been one of the most floating-averse types of water-craft. I'll see if I've got the chart at home and if so try those co-ordinates on it; see which one is in the right area for the wreck I couldn't find on Sunday.

I'll put both set of co-ordinates into the GPS for future reference.

Thanks again.
