HMT KERRYADO

Built in 1920, this Admiralty requisitioned trawler was sunk when she struck a mine on 6th March 1941, originally a French minesweeper before joining the Royal Navy on 5th July 1940.  

The 252ton trawler now rests 10 miles south of Brighton in a depth of 38mtrs sitting upright and shipshape with a lovely stern section although the front and mid-section has collapsed down, still very recognisable with areas to have a good poke around. Fish cover the wreck making it almost impossible to see.
