HMS Tamar Wreck site [1941-????]

Final Resting Location of the HMS Tamar Wrackage

Following HMS Tamar scuttling in the Victoria Harbour on December 12, 1941, the ship remained partially submerged, with her three masts exposed as shown on the Hedda Morrison's photo taken in 1947.

In late 2014, during dredging work for the Central–Wan Chai Bypass (WD2), the remains of Tamar were discovered at the location near the old Wan Chai Ferry Pier as shown on the uploaded photo.   In 2015, a Preliminary Archaeological Impact Assessment for WD2 final report was published by the CEDD, prepared by Sarah Heaver, Dr Mick Atha and Paul Harrison.  I read this report back then, because I was working as a consultant for the Highway Department on the Shatin Central Link Project between 2012 to 2019.
