<font color='#0000FF'>Belgica is our "local" wreck, situated just North of my house. It's one of those places I like to go if the weather's not "all that" or if I'm in a hurry but just NEED to get in the water. Well this was one of those days. In a hurry, needed to get in the water.
Belgica was with Amundsen (Scott's opponent) on one of his Antarctic expeditions. With more a barge-status she was sunk during a German bomb attack on the British HQ here in Harstad in 1940. She was laden with dynamite and therefore you can still find a few bricks not suitable for building a fireplace!
Stats: Max depth 22 meter, 45 minutes. A pleasant dive.
The stern:
The bow (not MY silt!):
Two visiting buddies:
And a nudibranch.
Comments or questions are welcome.
