UPY 2019 British Waters Compact - Highly Commended
'A piece of history'
Willie Coghill
A local dive site steeped in history is the wreck of the Drottningen af Swerige (Queen of Sweden), an 18th century merchant ship wrecked on the shore close to the safety of the harbour.
My regular dive buddy, Neil Finlayson, and I took advantage of a cold bright February morning to dive it... with hopes of good viz for some wide angle shooting, and our efforts were rewarded.
It's not often you dive in amongst 18th century cannons, and in great condition at that for having spent the last 274 years in the sea.
Judge's comment: This one kept leaping out of this category. The composition is simple yet not perfect but the water conditions and subject matter made it stand out a mile.
