SUNK
At 9 pm on 8 May 1913, daylight turned to dusk and, almost exactly an hour
later, the 240ft Shuna ran blind on to the Grey Rocks and started taking in
water. Captain Elsper went astern, and as his ship came free tried to head
for Tobermory. It was a forlorn hope. The pumps were beaten, and as the water
gained, he beached north of Rubha Aird Seisg. .
DIVING
The most intact wreck in the Sound of Mull. Situated out of the main current,
the Shuna can be a little silty, especially when there are lots of divers
on it. Launch: Lochaline, Tobermory.
