What is recorded here
HMS Assurance is a shipwreck in County Derry, Ireland. Perhaps the steam tug still pushes invisible currents beneath the surface, carrying forgotten cargo through water that never drains. Maybe its wheels still turn inside the seabed, driving pressure forward while the coast forgets the noise. Imagine a tug built to refuse surrender, broken by distance but never stopped by it.
The official Northern Ireland wreck record identifies HMS Assurance as Steam tug. It was lost in 1941. Recorded depth: 0m.
