Them Days Incorporated says after 100 years, divers went in the deep waters to see the HMS Raleigh.
The divers went near the Point Armour Lighthouse in Southern Labrador for their first dive.
The first Royal Navy intentionally destroyed the wreck in 1926, then salvagers further blew the wreck apart to recover the guns, brass propellers, anchors, brass and copper hardware. The wreck is now beaten flat on the bottom and is a debris field of scattered parts.
A huge shipwreck site is more than 150 meters long. They obtained an archeologist research permit from NL Archeology Office in order to dive on this wreck. They disturbed nothing and recovered nothing from the wreck.
They remember the 11 Royal Navy sailors who died when the ship was lost on August 8, 1922. Full marks to the Point Armour Lighthouse Historical Site which interprets the shipwreck site for the public.
