On 18 July 1946, the British survey vessel SS Denham struck a hidden German magnetic mine in the River Mersey off New Brighton. The devastating peacetime explosion blew the 103-ton ship apart, instantly killing eight crew members. A lone survivor was miraculously thrown clear and rescued.
How to view from land: Walk along New Brighton beach to the shoreline during very low tides.
