What is recorded here

Oregon I is a motor-ship lost in 1945, scattered and wedged into rocky gullies eight metres below the County Down sea. The water likely tore the vessel apart rather than sinking it whole, leaving a broken ring of metal and wood trapped in the rocks. That sudden violence explains why the wreck still feels sharp, angry and unfinished instead of quiet.

The official Northern Ireland wreck record identifies Oregon I as Motor-ship. It was lost in 1945. Recorded depth: 8m. Recorded condition: Scattered, wedged into rocky gullies.
