What is recorded here
Lagan is a three-mast steamer that sank off County Down in 1946. She still lies largely intact on her port side in twenty-seven metres of water, anchor and cable deployed as if she had merely moored for the night. The sea kept her shape while the world above forgot her name.
The official Northern Ireland wreck record identifies Lagan as 3 mast steamer. It was lost in 1946. Recorded depth: 27-30m. Recorded condition: largely intact (5m high), lying on port side with anchor and cable deployed.
