Thursday 27th May – The Kyarra 

Lying on the seabed about a mile off the coast is the wreck of the Kyarra. Arguably one of the most famous wrecks on the South Coast. The display of artefacts from this vessel is one of the most popular exhibits in the Pier visitor centre. Pier volunteer and diver, Nick Reed, will tell the story of the fantastic time capsule and the role she played in WW1.
