Glen Strathallen

Glen Strathallen

"Glen Strathallan" or "Glen Strath Allen" was built in 1928 by shipbuilders Cochrance and Sons in Yorkshire. Millionaire Colby Cubbin converted her to a pleasure yacht as the person who had commissioned her went bankrupt before the ship was completed. During the Second World War she was loaned to the Royal Navy and returned to Colby Cubbin at the end of the war. In April 1970 she was sunk in accordance with the owners in order to become an underwater training facility for divers training at Fort Bovisand.

"Glen Strathallan" currently sits in 15m of water south of the Plymouth break water at coord|50|18.922|N|4|7.529|W|display=inline,title. The wreck is considerably broken up but the boilers remain and are currently home to a number of conger eels.
