The Christensen (Wreck)

 interesting place, invisible

Every wreck-diver knows the Longstone. The lighthouse there in the Farne Islands is forever linked with the names of Grace Darling and her father William, and their rescue of the Forfarshire survivors.
But many other wreck-divers will know the Longstone reef for another shipwreck - that of the Chris Christensen, which ran aground on its south-eastern tip on 16 February, 1915, and is now known as one of the best dives in the area.
This 1491 ton Danish steamer was 250ft long, with a beam of 37ft. She had a draught of 18ft and was built in 1903 with a single boiler and a three-cylinder triple-expansion engine amidships.
When wrecked, she was travelling in ballast with her four holds empty from her home port of Aarhus, Denmark, bound for Newcastle-upon-Tyne to pick up a general cargo. All her crew of 19 got off safely.
Although the Chris Christensen struck only the tip of the reef, and was riding high when she did so, she was so badly holed that within days she had slid off the edge of the reef and sunk into more than 30m of water.
