HMS Prince Leopold: A 2938-ton, Belgian steamer, built 1930, converted to infantry
landing ship in 1941. 347ft Casualty of the 2nd world war. Torpedoed on the 27th of July
1944. Often mistaken as a German destroyer; teak decking can still be seen. Despite
capsizing on sinking, wreck is now upright, but twisted with starboard list on gravel seabed.
Highest point is Bofors gun, 10m proud. Large hole on port side is torpedo damage. Bow
lists more than stern, which has 30* lean. Superstructure swept away. Beware depth
charges on racks at stern. Take care on any entry into wreck, metal deteriorating fast.
