Hi Guys

The BOWLING's location is 55 43’.644 N 001 29’.060 W and 5.56-n.miles NE of Longstone lighthouse. The thirteen crewmen lost with the ship were:

Scott, James Master

Watson, William Chief Officer
Young, Alfred Fireman
Young, Thomas Fisher Steward

The wreck is orientated in a south by east to north by west (166/346-degrees) direction and lies on a seabed of gravel, pebbles, fine-sand, mud and shells, in a general depth of 67m, on the lowest astronomical tide. The wreck is upright and largely intact, but with about 9m of the bow section separated from the hull. It stands 5.8m high and covers an area of 46m by 7m wide. Shoals of bib swarm over the wreck-site and lots of big cod can also be observed.

Cheers Ron
