5/ 5

An easy 30 minute walk accessible on low spring tides from the Derby Pool. The wreck is of the Mersey Docks & Harbours survey vessel SS Denham. She sank in 1946 with all hands after hitting a German sea mine. German mines remained a hazard to shipping for years after the end of hostilities in 1945. The wreck 's wheelhouse and funnel were dispersed to the gunwales so as not to cause a hazard to shipping.
