Nanette & Barnard Castle

 

On this trip we will visit the Nanette site on Race Rocks and the Barnard Castle in Pilot Bay.

 

The Nanette was a wooden sailing barque that was wrecked on Race Rocks December 27, 1860. It eventually drifted off leaving much of its cargo on the bottom. The Barnard Castle was a coal collier that struck Race Rocks and sank in Pilot Bay in 1886. The Nanette will be a documentation dive. We hope to conduct some photogrammetry on the Barnard Castle. There may be some current during the first dive, but we will be using a live boat for pickup. We will depart from Pedder Bay  Cost: $85.00 per person. Limit 7 divers.
