In August 2001, local diver from Co. Donagal Dan Keenan and his dive team discovered the remains of a US B-17 bomber in just over 20 metres of water off the coast of Inishowen Head.
Divers come from Europe and the United Kingdom to dive the deep war wrecks that litter the Irish coastline, but finding a virgin aircraft wreck at recreational diving depths is the stuff of a diver’s dreams—a once in a lifetime experience.
Dan Keenan and his team were among these fortunate divers when their perseverance paid off and they discovered the untouched remains of “The Melting Pot.”
