GEORGE LOCKETT

The SS George Lockett

The George Lockett is situated to the east of Ilfracombe;  she was a steam ship that was lost on the 10th Febuary 1982.

Her official dimentions in meters are 67.4 x 9.1 x 4.9

She is found between 15-20m depth and is suitable for Ocean Divers.

Like the majority of the wrecks found along the coastline of the Bristol Channel she is well broken, however there is a lot of wreckage to explore along with the boilers and some upright plates.  There are a number of upright tubes that are a favourite place for the many resident conger eels to hide.

As with all our dives a torch and a DSMB are a must.
