What is recorded here

Retriever is a shipwreck in County Down, Ireland. Perhaps the steamship broke apart during a violent winter storm in 1916, scattering metal and timber across the seafloor. Maybe the water still hides gears and boilers that once drove the vessel forward. Imagine a diver touching cold iron where hot steam once raged.

The official Northern Ireland wreck record identifies Retriever as Steamship. It was lost in 1916. Recorded depth: 5-6m.

Retriever was a steamship lost in 1916 in waters off Northern Ireland, at a depth of 5–6 metres. Little is known about its crew, cargo, or precise circumstances of loss, but its identification as a steamship of that era gives it some historical significance in early 20th-century maritime activity.
