Shipwreck Mystery SOLVED After 154 Years

Sep 21, 2025

After 154 years lost to the depths, the lost ship SS Greek has finally been discovered—and you’re coming with me on the dive. In September 2024, three members of the #Darkstar dive team descended nearly 100 metres between Cornwall and Ireland, chasing an unknown seabed mark. What we found was extraordinary: the remains of an early steamship, crockery from the Anglo-Greek Steam Navigation & Trading Co. Ltd, and a cargo hold still packed with firebricks. The SS Greek left the Clyde on December 3rd, 1869, bound for Rotterdam with general cargo and firebricks. She never arrived. By January 1870, she was reported missing, presumed lost with all 23 crew. After 12 months of research, aided bypeopel on my social media channels, a newspaper article was uncovered describing the loss and her cargo—confirming our find. This video features the complete dive footage from the day we identified the wreck. You’ll see untouched cargo, company-branded crockery, and the haunting silhouette of a ship lost since the Victorian era. Dive with me on Closed Circuit Rebreather (CCR) to nearly 100 metres as we piece together maritime history, one artifact at a time. *Thanks* Many thanks to Mark Dixon (skipper/leader), Will Schwarz (diver) Leigh Bishop (diver) and everyone who helped the search! *AP Overlay* The AP 2020 Vision overlay is the latest Telemetry addition by @EricStott - you can watch his walk-thru video here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdnVcnH1iJQ *Highlights* 00:00 Introduction 03:08 New overlay 04:08 96 metres down - no wreck! 06:50 What is this?? 07:17 Bricks - the final clue! 09:18 Bow and Anchor 10:40 Boiler and engine
