What is recorded here
Diamond is a steamship lost off County Antrim in 1918, now buried inside a moving sandwave thirty-five metres down. The sea forgot the wreck, smoothed it, and hid it again. What remains is not a ruin but a shape of pressure, waiting for water to pull the sand away.
The official Northern Ireland wreck record identifies Diamond as Steamship. It was lost in 1918. Recorded depth: 35-21m. Recorded condition: Buried in a sandwave. Anomaly: 3m X 2.1m X 3.1m.
Diamond was a steamship lost in 1918 off Northern Ireland, likely during or after World War I. It sank in shallow waters and became buried in a sandwave, with no specific details on lives or cargo lost, though its wartime context suggests potential strategic or commercial significance.
