Hi Theo
This what I have:
Reference: 53 41’.311 N 000 06’.375 E
Location: 1-nautical mile N from Dimlington High Land

The DRYBURGH was a 1,289-ton steel hulled British merchant steamship registered at Leith. Dimensions measuring: 70.1m by length, a 10.87m-beam and a draught of 4.69-metres. Campbeltown Ship Building Co. Ltd. built her at Campbeltown in 1919 and G. Gibson & Co. Ltd. owned her at the time of loss. Her single steel propeller was powered by a 3-cylinder triple expansion steam engine that developed 172hp using two 2SB 6CF boilers. Her cylinder diameters measured: 45.72cm, 76.20cm & 127.00cm with an 83.82cm stroke (18in., 30in. & 50-inches with a 33-inch stroke). Ross & Duncan manufactured the machinery at Glasgow. She had one deck, 4-watertight bulkheads, two masts and a superstructure consisting of a 24.08m-quarterdeck, a 17.07m-bridgedeck and an 8.23m-forecastle.

Final voyage:
On 11 November 1939 the SS DRYBURGH was on passage from Leith for Antwerp when she struck the wreck of the liner CANADA, which had been wrecked just eight days earlier. (This was despite the fact there were wreck-buoys marking the position and her upper structures showed well above the surface.) The DRYBURGH, which was badly holed, was carrying an unspecified cargo of coal and horsemeat. Distress signals were sent out immediately, bringing Spurn motorised lifeboat CITY OF BRADFORD II quickly to the scene and the crew of sixteen were taken on board. The steam-trawler JAMES BARRIE was also in the vicinity and stood-by until the tug YORKSHIREMAN arrived. The tug got lines aboard the incapacitated steamer, pulled her afloat and clear of the wreck then, proceeded to tow her towards shallow water. However they hadn’t gone half a mile, when the DRYBURGH filled up with water, capsized and sank, but without loss of life.

Wreck-site
In 1980, the wreck was reported to be standing virtually complete, with her back broken and standing 7m high at amidships and stern. She is orientated in a southwest to northeast direction, with her bow to the southwest, lying on a seabed of sand, gravel and shell, in a general depth of 15m, being the lowest astronomical depth. The steam-whistle from the vessel now has pride of place in Withernsea lighthouse, along with the ship’s bell from the CANADA. The wreck is reported to stand 5.6-metres high from amidships to stern and is collapsing in on her self. It is also possible to visit the wreck-site at any state of the tide, but visibility is usually rather poor most of the year. A few crustaceans can often be found hiding under the wreckage, in the early spring months.
