The Rosehill was torpedoed by U40 in September 1917 whilst travelling from Cardiff to Plymouth. She sank 2 miles south of Portwrinkle, 2 miles to the east of the James Eagan Layne
She lies at about 29m. The Rosehill resembles the Persier to dive and apart from the boilers she has been flattened. The Rosehill supports a variety of fish, cod, bass, Pollack, wrasse and conger whilst the plates are covered with fan corals. The stern section is well defined. Here there is a gun that is quite impressive. The steering gear, rudder and part of her propeller can be clearly seen.
This was the first dive of the day and it was a good visibility for March 2024. A lot of life around the wreck and I have never seen so many Conger Eels before. To explore a bit more I was using Nitrox. I didn't quite get to the boilers this time. The Gun and Propeller was impressive.
Dive No. 113
