The Nyon ran aground off St Abb's Head in Berwickshire in 1958, as this picture shows. The stern section was saved, and the Nyon was rebuilt. In 1962 she sank of Beachy Head following a collision.NYON (Depth 43m bottom 29m top - 10.8 N/miles South East from Newhaven)
50 38 04N; 00 12 22E
A Swiss ship of 5,364 tons, on it's way from Antwerp to Montreal, sank on 15th June 1962. After a collision with the Indian ship Jalazad. She was carrying a cargo of cars and 7,000 tons of steel. Her bridge is the highest point sitting 14m from the sea bed and lies East to West with the bow to the West 10m proud of the bottom.
DIVING:
Bows at 10m high sits to the west and well broken up, the bridge stands 14m high, watch out for trawl nets.
