What is recorded here
Ferric is a broken steam collier lying eight metres deep off County Antrim, reduced to two metres of rust and memory since 1905. The sea did not bury her so much as chew her into the ocean floor. What remains is not a ship but a wound in the water, still leaking coal and time.
The official Northern Ireland wreck record identifies Ferric as Steam collier. It was lost in 1905. Recorded depth: 8-0m. Recorded condition: 2m high, badly broken up.
