In November 1947, the unmanned steam-powered Admiralty tug SS Carbon was being towed to Southampton for scrapping when its line parted during heavy weather. The adrift vessel ran aground and flooded in the shallows of Compton Bay, where its well-preserved boilers are still exposed during exceptionally low spring tides.
Walk onto the rocky reef running out from Hanover Point at low tide.
