Recorded wreck · 21st century

Solway Harvester

The Manx HER records the fishing vessel's loss on 11 January 2000 at a position far east of the old site's misplaced pin.

Also recorded as: MV Solway Harvester; BA 794

What the evidence supports

Solway Harvester foundered on 11 January 2000 with the loss of all seven crew, and the wreck is a memorial place as well as a maritime record. The map shows a cautious area around the IOMHER position, not a diving or salvage destination. Treat the record and those who died with respect.
