The Canadian Corvette Alberni was 193ft long and had  a beam of 32ft, she had a top speed of 17knots, She    struck a mine and sank on 21st August 1944 with the  loss of 59 of her crew. Today she rests in 66mtrs and  is on her side, again due to the depth she is very  intact and stands some 12mtrs proud of the seabed.

The ‘Alberni’ is in the same area of the Channel as the  Osprey and usually has excellent visibility, again it’s a  long way from Brighton, some 42miles and as the osprey is best done on one of our I.O.W. trips.
