Divers in Cornwall lay commemorative plaque on historic wreck

Published

On February 1st 1914, the sailing barque ‘Hera’ foundered and sank near Nare Head in Cornwall, UK. To commemorate the event, divers attached a plaque to the wreck last week in memoriam to the 19 souls who lost their lives.

plaqueIt had originally been arranged to be placed on the wreck on February 1st of this year, the 100th Anniversary of the sinking. Mark Milburn of Atlantic Scuba, who arranged the event with Father Doug Robins of Veryan Parish, said that the weather had been so unfavourable that this was the first chance to dive the Hera.

Mr Milburn said, “We had arranged to dive the wreck on the 100th anniversary of the sinking, when many dive boats were to be on site to pay their respects. The weather has been so bad, we have had to wait 6 weeks to get on site”. Mr Milburn also said “With the recent storms it is easy to see why a sailing ship would have come to grief all those years ago”.

Atlantic Scuba is a dive centre based at Mabe near Falmouth, in Cornwall. For more information about Atlantic Scuba, visit www.atlanticscuba.co.uk.

Like Shannon Moran, who we announced as one of our new underwater photography team members yesterday, Jacob represents the next generation of underwater image-makers, bringing fresh energy and a seriously impressive set of credentials to the team. A Fourth Element ambassador, teacher at The Underwater Club, and co-founder of 71%, Jacob is passionate about conservation and natural history storytelling, using his lens to inspire a deeper connection to the ocean.

Jacob has filmed and self-produced award-winning documentaries and worked as a photo and video pro in Lembeh and on liveaboards throughout Indonesia. Most recently, he was named Young Ocean Photographer of the Year, further cementing his reputation as one of the most exciting emerging talents in underwater media today.

“I’m really excited to be joining the team at Scubaverse,” said Jacob.

“And I couldn’t be happier to have him onboard,” said Scubaverse founder, Dave Alexander. “Jacob is part of a bold new wave of underwater storytellers—and I’m delighted that Scubaverse can be part of his journey as he continues to make waves in the world of diving and underwater photography.”
