Something that i've tuned into once or twice by mistake and never really got into it fully.

The programme is about ship srecks around ireland that have historical interest. I nearly kicked something when i saw in the paper that last monday they did a feature on the Justicia.

Anyway, they've already done the U260 and a couple others but it'd be worth remembering to tune in for future shows.

"Justicia was the 3rd largest liner sunk during the WW1 conflict and my top ten list of wreck dives had just been changed. Even 'RMS Lusitania' had taken a drop down the ranks to make way" -Leigh Bishop -> article

And if Leigh Bishop knows anything...its his wrecks.

I managed to miss this, what was on this time ?

They did the Wasps last night, 3 ships I think it was sailed under that name and all 3 sank. Not much diving was shown last night but I was flicking in and out and might have missed some of it.

No you didn't miss much on the diving front. The wreck is pretty broken up and there wasn't much to see underwater. So they had to a lot of interviews with islanders of Tory island and such....

Exept a course in Irish language
