Paul Downs, who participated in the dive, expressed amazement at the wreck's preservation, noting that 'the state of preservation is unbelievable for a wreck that's 110 years old and came to a violent end.' He emphasized the significance of the find, describing it as a 'once in a lifetime discovery' due to the wreck's impressive condition.
The team, led by 'Lost in Waters Deep,' has dedicated years to searching for WWI shipwrecks around Scotland. They are now anticipating formal confirmation from the Royal Navy after presenting their findings. Their commitment showcases the importance of historical preservation and the stories that these submerged relics tell.
Downs highlighted the role of the warship's depth in its preservation, stating, 'Its guns, other armaments, decking and some interior features like a clock and wall-mounted barometer were all still visible, despite more than a century on the seabed.' He noted that the wreck avoids harsh winter storms, adding to its remarkable state.
