What is recorded here

Daybreak (prob.) is a steamship lost in 1917, still upright at 53 metres in County Down water. Her bow lies detached ninety degrees away, while the bridge has collapsed above an intact hull five metres high. The sea took a working vessel and left it standing like a forgotten tower, waiting for darkness, pressure and time to finish what the wreck began.

The official Northern Ireland wreck record identifies Daybreak (prob.) as Steamship. It was lost in 1917. Recorded depth: 53-35m. Recorded condition: Intact (5m high), upright. Bow is detached lying close to the wreck at 90deg, bridge collapsed.

Daybreak (prob.) was a steamship lost in 1917 during World War I, likely due to enemy action or submarine attack. The vessel lies intact and upright on the seabed in depths of 35–53 metres, with its bow separated but nearby; no details of lives or cargo lost are recorded, though its wartime loss suggests potential historical significance.
