About this site
Sir Charles Napier is a wreck on the Kish Bank, where the full-rigged sailing ship was lost in 1855. The dive is at about 10 metres, and the best time to visit is 1.5 hours before high water or 1 hour before low water.
Some large pieces of machinery are reported to be visible, though little else remains to be seen of the ship. The wreck lies on a bank, so swell and current shape when the site can be dived, which is why the tide timing matters here.
