What is recorded here
Black Diamond is a broken steam collier lying seven metres deep off County Antrim, reduced to a two-and-a-half-metre ridge of rust and memory. She sank in 1892 after carrying coal through noisy, salt-heavy seas, and the ocean took her without ceremony. What remains is not a grand hull but a small dark scar under the water, the kind of place where forgotten labour still cools with the tide.
The official Northern Ireland wreck record identifies Black Diamond as Steam Collier. It was lost in 1892. Recorded depth: 7m. Recorded condition: 2.5m high, badly broken up.
The *Black Diamond* was a steam collier lost in 1892 off the coast of Northern Ireland. It sank in 7m of water, with no details of lives or cargo lost, and remains identifiable as a significant wreck in the region.
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.
