At 15:30 on March 27th 2004, the seabed off south east Cornwall changed forever and, after many years of planning, the dream to turn an ex-Royal Navy warship into northern Europe’s first diving reef had become a reality for the team at the National Marine Aquarium.

The Sinking of Scylla follows the exciting and unique story of the sinking, from the unusual conversion to Scylla’s final journey and her placement site off Whitsand Bay, Cornwall.  The programme features the extraordinary and dramatic sinking of the warship as well as exclusive behind the scenes footage and interviews with ex-crew members, project workers and divers.

The Sinking of Scylla reveals the complex operation to turn a 2500 tonne warship into a home for thousands of marine animals.
