The
Clan Stuart was a 3500-ton British turret steamer. She was carrying
a cargo of coal when she sank on 21 November 1914. This wreck is covered
with dense marine growth, which attracts a large number of fish. The
bay is almost always sheltered except in a strong north-easter.
There
can be surge when a swell is running.

How
to get there:
The Clan Stuart is about 4km from the traffic circle in Fish Hoek
on the road to Simon's Town. The wreck is close to shore but is
in a restricted diving area. This means you have to get permission
to dive it from the Naval headquarters in Simon's Town (or else).
The Clan Stuart is about 50m offshore with easy entry and exit points.
You can see the engine block protruding from the sea.
