Wrecks in Milford haven

[Johnny5vikk]

Would any body on here know the whereabouts of the twelve wrecks that lay inside the haven. I know where the dakotian is. Any info and ideally position on a map would be greatly recieved. Thanks in advance to anyone who responds.

I've dropped many pleasure divers around the Islands, but not many within the estuary, usually only commercial divers retrieving moorings etc, here's a good link though, some great info on dive sites around Pembs including some in the estuary.

Thanks for that dhf. The site is interesting and does give some coordinates but was hoping to get some rough positions on charts in relation to land marks. Even rough sketches would do.

Sorry J5 for some reason I though you mentioned diving, lol, your prob more interested in fishing these wrecks I guess?
I got some old charts laying round somewhere, I'll see if can dig em out soon, here's another good link though, for wreck fishing out and around the haven.

The Behar has a cardinal Buoy near it and is on the North side of the haven, East of the Dakotian.

This expedition report has some photos of transits for the Thor and some interesting info about the wreck:

Thanks all. I really appreciate the info. Have already looked into the Thor wreck and now know where it is so hopefully will fish it next time I'm out. Any more info will be gratefully recieved.

I ought to say, not my work, my sidescan isn't giving anywhere near this quality yet. Still learning how to use it.

And bizarely the video (good as it is) missed what is probably one of the best dives EVER!! The "Lucy" out near Jack Sound Lucy Wreck Cracking dive in 40 metre plus usually

Although aimed at divers the Welsh Association of Sub Aqua Clubs site has a very good map based interface with a number of the wrecks on it.

If you click through to each site on the map then the GPS coordinates are shown by hovering over the icon on the map.
