The 3,300 tons, 330 ft long cargo ship was sunk off the coast of Cornwall on November 27, 1917 and has stayed there since then. Robinson, who has had a passion for shipwrecks since his childhood and loves diving, has already taken the dive under water to view his appreciated property.
“I just went and I kicked the tires and I sucked my teeth, and I knew what it was,” said Mr. Robinson.
Mr. Robinson restores the wreck by examining anomalies found by scanning the Zeebben in the United Kingdom. He also has a YouTube channel where he shares his findings.
'I have identified perhaps 20 or 25 shipwrecks in recent years. It is really nice because every shipwreck has received a story. I find that particularly worthwhile, “he said.
