Justicia bow in state of collaspeFriday, August 28th, 2020The great Justicia bow – one of the most iconic shipwreck photos in the world has, over the winter of 2019/2020 suffered a dramatic loss of integrity as the pair of photos below show. A large section of plating on the upper starboard side is peeling away and the anchor is lowering to the seabed. Somewhat sad but inevitable with the passage of time. British Submarine, D6Thursday, August 22nd, 2019Lying in 87 metres, the D6 is one of the rarest wreck finds off the north Donegal coast.
