What is recorded here
Overton is a broken shipwreck in County Antrim, lost in 1955 and scattered across forty to sixteen metres of seawater. The sea did not merely sink the vessel; it chewed the hull until little remains but a field of rust and memory. Anyone who dives there walks through the aftermath of that violence, not the pride of the build.
The official Northern Ireland wreck record identifies Overton as vessel. It was lost in 1955. Recorded depth: 40-16m. Recorded condition: badly broken up.
The *Overton* was a vessel lost in 1955 off the coast of Northern Ireland. It sank in shallow waters and now lies in a badly broken-up condition; no details of lives or cargo lost are recorded.
