What is recorded here
Pintail is a steam trawler scattered across six metres of water off County Antrim, having broken apart in 1949. The wreck has lost its shape, leaving only a field of metal and memory where the sea swallowed it. What remains is not a hull but a suggestion, a tail flickering beneath the surface. The ocean kept the name and discarded the form.
The official Northern Ireland wreck record identifies Pintail as Steam Trawler. It was lost in 1949. Recorded depth: 6m. Recorded condition: Scattered wreckage.
