What is recorded here

Arantzazu Mendi is a steamship wreck in County Down, broken into sections ten metres high with scattered plates after sinking in 1939. The sea did not erase it; it rearranged it into a jagged chamber where bronze, water and time still negotiate. What remains is not a grave for a ship but a visible wound in the seabed, large enough to be measured and strange enough to be remembered.

The official Northern Ireland wreck record identifies Arantzazu Mendi as Steamship. It was lost in 1939. Recorded depth: 5m. Recorded condition: 10m high, broken into sections. Scattered plates.

Arantzazu Mendi was a Spanish steamship wrecked in 1939 off Northern Ireland. It was likely en route to the UK when it struck a mine or ran aground, resulting in no reported casualties; its remains lie in shallow water, fragmented and partially scattered.
