HMS Thrush

Shipwreck

What is recorded here

HMS Thrush is a shipwreck in County Antrim, Ireland. Perhaps the Redbreast-class first class gunboat broke apart in 1917, dropping her guns and decking into the dark water. Maybe the sea kept her shape long enough for fishermen to pass her without knowing her name. Imagine her still turning over beneath the waves, a forgotten soldier in the county's water.
The official Northern Ireland wreck record identifies HMS Thrush as Redbreast-class first class gunboat. It was lost in 1917.
HMS Thrush was a Redbreast-class first-class gunboat of the Royal Navy, lost in 1917. The vessel sank during World War I, though the exact cause, location, and details of casualties or cargo remain unspecified in the official Northern Ireland wreck record.

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.
