Kingston (Sarah H)
Steamship of about 78 m that struck Shag Rock on 22 February 1881 on a coal voyage to Aden; divers long called it the 'Sarah H' until its true identity was established. The hull lies on the north-west side of the reef from about 4 to 17 m, with boilers, a spare propeller and the four-bladed propeller near 15 m. Open frames are densely covered with corals.
