Diver's video of Ullswater wreck	This is a short video, that was posted on YouTube, of a wreck that a diver found in Ullswater in 2006.

Subsequent research has revealed that the vessel was built in the Clyde for a minor celebrity racing driver in the 1920s and it was lost in the 1930s. He has even managed to trace the family of the owner!.
