What is recorded here
Kilbroney is a steamship drowned in County Down waters in 1900. Twenty-seven metres of green water hide her broken frame, though her engine, boilers and stern still stand recognizable in the dark. She is not a clean ghost or a forgotten dot; she is a machine that stopped mid-life and gave up enough shape to be identified. The sea took her work, her heat and her motion, but it did not erase her.
The official Northern Ireland wreck record identifies Kilbroney (prob.) as Steamship. It was lost in 1900. Recorded depth: 27m. Recorded condition: Wellbroken up, engine and boilers visible, stern still recognizable.

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.
