What is recorded here

Lugano is a steamship wreck in County Antrim, lost in 1917 and still upright at 73m. Its measured frame spans 112m, 30m and 10.1m, large enough to carry a whole seafaring life beneath the surface. The water keeps that shape intact, waiting for someone brave or reckless enough to visit.

The official Northern Ireland wreck record identifies Lugano as Steamship. It was lost in 1917. Recorded depth: 73m. Recorded condition: Wreck intact and upright. Anomaly: 112m X 30m X 10.1m.

Lugano was a steamship lost in 1917 during World War I, likely due to submarine attack or mine explosion, as it sank in deep water (73m) with no mention of survivors or recovered cargo. Its intact and upright condition suggests a sudden, clean sinking, preserving much of its structure and contents.

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.
