Stanegarth
Stanegarth is a British narrowboat that was converted into a dive site in the United Kingdom. It is the largest inland dive wreck in the UK and is located at the Stoney Cove diving centre in Leicestershire.
History[edit | edit source]
Stanegarth was built in 1910 by Warren's Shipyard in New Holland, Lincolnshire. It was originally a steam-powered tug, used to haul coal barges on the River Severn. In the 1960s, it was converted to diesel power. The boat was retired from service in the 1980s and was later purchased by Stoney Cove for use as a dive site.
Conversion to Dive Site[edit | edit source]
In 2000, Stanegarth was cleaned and made safe for divers. This involved removing all the internal fixtures and fittings, sealing off certain areas, and creating access points for divers. The boat was then sunk in Stoney Cove, where it now lies at a depth of 22 metres.
Diving the Stanegarth[edit | edit source]
Diving the Stanegarth is a popular activity for divers in the UK. The size of the boat and the depth at which it lies provide a challenging dive. Divers can explore the wheelhouse, the engine room, and the cargo hold. The site is also home to a variety of aquatic life, including pike, perch, and crayfish.
