About this site
Freesia is a trawler wreck on the west side of Orkney, close to the cliffs of Costa Head, at a maximum depth of 40 metres. The Grimsby trawler ran aground at Costa Head in 1922 while returning home from fishing.
She foundered in 40 metres of water close to the cliffs that sank her. The 245 ton wreck is well broken up but makes an excellent dive.
