So back in 2010 I went for an explore around Lands End and spotted this wreck. The camera I used at the time had a scratch on the lens and I was down there on my own so was reluctant to go exploring the wreck properly, but at the weekend I went back with sunshine, friends and a decent camera!
This is my report from 2010 with full history and crash photos are here:

"On 22 March 2003, RMS Mülheim was on a voyage from Cork, Ireland to Lübeck, Germany, transporting 2,200 tonnes of scrap car plastic. The ship ran aground at approximately 0500 GMT in Gamper Bay, between Land's End and Sennen Cove, during which time there was "moderate visibility and fog patches".
On investigation, it was discovered that the chief officer, who had been on watch at the time, had caught his trousers in the lever of his chair when trying to get up, causing him to fall and rendering him unconscious. By the time he regained consciousness, RMS Mülheim was already bearing down on the shoreline." - Yeeah right...
Looking down:
Beautiful rusty metal everywhere:
All aboard!
Jammin out with my matchsticks out
A few divers swam up and came for an explore with us:
One of those safety notices that probably actually got read:
The Kitchen:
Up in the control room:
Some roof and insulation material still present:
Is it wrong to find rusty metal so attractive?
"I was going to miss the rocks but I got high"
One last look back:
The climb back up:
Thanks for looking at my report
