Incredible collection of photographs charting more than a century of Cornish shipwrecks taken by members of the same family could fetch £150,000 at auction..

Many Thanks Mr.T.

One picture caught my attention more than any other, that`s the picture of the German vessel "CITA".

I was very fortunate in my all to brief diving life (11 years-started very late Laugh )to dive this wreck.

I have just looked in my old dive log (yep, you have to keep it for reference)and I dived this vessel on 22/07/08.

She now lies in a cleft of rocky coast off the Scillies with the bow only a few metres below the surface and the stern at about 35 metres.

A wonderful dive, albeit for a very sad loss.

Regards
