City of Ghent (30 metres)

The City of Ghent became wrecked close to Cadgwith within a five minute boat ride of shore. She lies in the main tidal stream from the Lizard Point to Black Head. It does need to be dived at slack water. The wreck and the surrounding reefs supports a great variety of marine life (Pollock, Pouting, Cod, Ling, Wrasse, Bass etc) which in turn attracts many predatory Monkfish (Anglers) and Conger Eels. The reefs in the surrounding areas are a photographer's dream, being covered with sponges, worms, starfish, urchins and hard & soft corals.
