What is recorded here
Neotsfield is a steamship wreck lying 45 metres deep off County Down, lost in 1918 but still upright and intact. Its stern gun remains in place, while the bridge has collapsed into an open framework that lets the sea pour through the bones of the ship. The water moves around a tall, broken tower instead of a solid wall, making the wreck feel less like a dead vessel and more like a drowned room still waiting for someone to enter.
The official Northern Ireland wreck record identifies Neotsfield as Steamship. It was lost in 1918. Recorded depth: 45m. Recorded condition: Intact +upright (12m high), stern gun in place, bridge now open framework.
Neotsfield was a steamship lost in 1918 near Northern Ireland. It sank intact and upright in 45m of water, with its stern gun and 12m-high structure largely preserved, though no details of lives or cargo lost are recorded.
