Diving The Shipwrecks of Lizard Point, Cornwall.

[@timshimmin3468]

Great video.Your dedication to filming the wrecks is impressive. We used to take our children to Coverack YHA camping every year. They loved all the tales of shipwrecks and we visited St Keverne to view the Manacles and read the gravestones on St Keverne churchyard....chilling.

Awesome video nem, thanks so much. 😁

[@tomjohnson9833]

Love the videos. Wish they were a bit longer tho

[@BenoCam]

I just didn’t have any other footage to make that one longer… took me 6 months to film that !

[@scubadive]

Enjoyed every second thanks Ben 😃👌

[@The_card_king101]

Wish you’d do more shipwreck videos Great vid by the way

[@BenoCam]

Cheers a few more planned but they never get such good a viewings or response as the mining ones

[@Matthew-oj7hg]

Yes more shipwreck videos Been waiting patiently for these good work mate

[@BenoCam]

One more all recorded just have to finish the voice overs !

[@MineExplorerUK]

awesome video mate. Lovely place you live

[@BenoCam]

It’s not bad.., now approaching 6 months of dark windy cold days though 🤣

[@duncansteward4331]

Interesting thanks

[@samjamesplumbing1436]

great video thanks for sharing

[@tropicalscuba]

Lovely conditions. Visibility looked great. Really enjoy diving this time year here in Cornwall, the sea is a pretty good temperature. When was this dive? This weekend?

[@BenoCam]

Those dives were filmed may-September! The tide is very strong in most of those sites and it’s rare it’s calm enough to dive there so it takes a while to get around to diving them all.

[@gregedmand9939]

This is a fascinating visit to ship wrecks we otherwise would never know anything about, unless we crack the rare books about them. I have one complaint about your videos though... THEY'RE FAR TOO SHORT! 😢

[@sailingona]

Thanks, Ben Geetings from Scilly

[@ShaiAharony]

Hey Ben. I found a few sections of steel around a location in houses bay just round the corner from bass point. Could that be a separate wreck? Can’t see any records of a wreck there and seems to be too large/heavy to be moved by storms

[@BenoCam]

Ooo interesting. There’s a few wrecks gone in housel bay, I can look them back up they are in the shipwreck index. Yeah they won’t have moved far must be a wreck nearby somewhere

[@22terrytibbs]

Aren't old ship's propellers made of bronze? Can you rig up a chain block or something & take it to sell? Was just thinking could be worth the trouble......

[@BenoCam]

Some of them were… sadly that one’s not ! It’s made of iron 🙈

[@PRR5406]

Torrey Canyon?

[@cornishxplora]

Get on mate

[@BenoCam]

Have to meet up for some mining soon !

[@cornishxplora]

@@BenoCam bloody right. Hitting Polberro Friday, you about?

[@christophertipler800]

What depth where are you at please?

[@BenoCam]

Hansey is about 10m, queen Margret 8-15m , royal Anne 6-8m and suevic and central shallows 6-10m. Almost all of them have very small tide windows, it took me 6 months of weather windows to film that lot !

[@johnboucher8226]

Licensing, the first step to banning.

[@peter9180]

Would it not be of more benefit to society if the historic artefacts were recovered, restored and protected instead of allowing it to disintegrate in to nothing?

[@BenoCam]

Well you would think so wouldn’t you. But most museums don’t want things like shipwreck artefacts, and they have to be paid to be treated and stored, etc Also everything brought up needs to be reported which is more paperwork etc and responsibility to do the right thing with it if you do bring it up. That’s why most people leave all these bits down there these days

Hi there, I am making a podcast about The Lizard Lighthouse (my father was a keeper before automation) and would love to interview you or have permission to use your audio. Could you let me have an email address to make contact with you and tell you more.
