James Egan Layne
★★★★☆
(82)
The James Eagan Layne was hit near the Eddystone reef and towed by Admiralty tugs towards Plymouth in an attempt to save as much cargo as possible. However, on her way back in, the stern collapsed causing her to sink in Whitsand Bay, where she now rests in an upright position on a sandy seabed.
The wreck can be found on a sandy seabed and is host to a variety of marine life. Along the port side are vast sheets of white anemones and dead man’s fingers.
