What is recorded here

Thrush was a salvage steamer lost off County Antrim in 1917, not an ordinary trading vessel but a ship built to pull other ships from the sea. That paradox still hangs in the water: a rescue machine drowned, its bones scattered fifty metres from shore at ten metres depth. The ocean took the very creature sent to defeat it.

The official Northern Ireland wreck record identifies Thrush as Salvage steamer. It was lost in 1917. Recorded depth: 10m. Recorded condition: Wreckage scattered c. 50m from shore.
