Eveleen

Shipwreck

What is recorded here

Eveleen sank off County Down in 1942 and disappeared beneath ten metres of water. She stayed hidden for a year, waiting for ropes and muscle to pull her bones back into human sight. The sea kept her only long enough to become a temporary ghost before returning her to the world.
The official Northern Ireland wreck record identifies Eveleen as a wreck. It was lost in 1942. Recorded depth: 10m. Recorded condition: Wreck removed Nov 1943.
Eveleen was a vessel lost in 1942 off the coast of Northern Ireland, likely during World War II. It was removed as wreck in November 1943, but details of its origin, cargo, and whether any lives were lost remain unrecorded.

A wreck point does not grant access or permission to dive, enter land, disturb the site or recover anything. Check current law and local conditions first.
