What is recorded here
Pins wreck, a schooner named Nimble, has lain beneath County Down water since 1850. Ten metres deep, two metres of her frame still rise above the seabed, planking visible through sediment like a ribcage waiting to be remembered. She did not vanish entirely; she changed address, trading sails for darkness and cargo for silence.
The official Northern Ireland wreck record identifies Pins wreck (Nimble) as Schooner. It was lost in 1850. Recorded depth: 10m. Recorded condition: 2m high. Planking visible, partly sediment covered.
Pins wreck (Nimble) was a schooner lost in 1850 off the Northern Ireland coast. Little is known about its crew or cargo, but its preservation at 10m depth offers insight into 19th-century wooden vessel construction.
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.
