ROOMPOT
Nederland, Zeeland
The Roompot ran into a sandpit in June of 1853 right off the coast of Zeeland Vrouwenpolder. It drifted into the Oosterschelde and sank in the boating channel. It was discovered on August 15 th , 1992, by Belgian wreck diver, Vic Verlinden. He also managed to lift the ship's bell, with the inscription 'The Roompot Zierikzee'. The wreck is fairly bogged down into the sand, but the masts, other parts of the hull and the copper plating are still noticeable. Dive at slack water. Then you can be sure to dive an hour on the wreck, with usually good visibility.
