In September 1976, the Scarborough fishing trawler Admiral von Tromp mysteriously veered ninety degrees off course. Despite fair conditions, it ran aground on the rocks of Black Nab in Saltwick Bay near Whitby. Two crew members tragically drowned while three survived, leaving this sudden grounding an unsolved, permanent maritime enigma.
The heavy steel boiler and iron structural remnants are scattered across the shale slab of Saltwick Bay and are accessible on foot at low tide. Walk down the coastal cliff path from Whitby Holiday Park car park.
