About this site
The Citrine is a 779-ton cargo vessel lying upside down on a reef near Cadgwith Cove on the Lizard Peninsula, Cornwall. She sank in 1956 when her bow hatch was stoved in during a south-easterly gale; at the time she was heading for Cadgwith Cove in an attempt to beach herself and her cargo of limestone chippings, but never reached shore. The wreck lies oriented north to south at 21–24 metres depth.
The bow and stern sections remain intact, while the mid-ship section is largely broken down. The site suits beginner divers and can be dived year-round.
