Wreck
'The Royal Shepherd' sank off The Gap between "The Heads" following a collision with SS Hesketh, 14 July 1890. The two vessels approached each other until the Royal Shepherd was struck on the port side and so badly damaged she sank quickly to a sandy bottom. Predominantly the drive shaft and engine are in 27m. Fishlife is not all that prolific, but you will see moray eels, cuttlefish, bullseyes and some species of leatherjackets as well as small flathead on the sand.
