Old Shipwreck on the Bank of a River in Summer

A shipwreck on the River Wear in Sunderland, serves as a unique historical relic from the early 20th century. Built in 1919 and originally used for transporting iron ore, the ship was later repurposed as an emergency breakwater before being damaged during a 1942 air raid. Today, it rests near Claxheugh Rock, a testament to the era of concrete vessels and Sunderland’s industrial past.
