Intro

SS Brenner was a large steamship. The 7th July in 1881 at 9 PM SS Brenner struck an unknown object off the cost of Batticaloa and sunk. The court hearing held on 26 July in Galle regarding the accident concluded 'the accident must be attributed to striking upon an unknown reef or rock which is not laid down on the charts, and for which the master is in no way responsible.' In fact, now this reef is called Brennus Shoal.

Four large boilers of the ship and debris scattered around a large area just 10 meters down. 'The most interesting part is the four large boilers close together almost in perfect formation. A long shaft, presumably the crankshaft ends with a magnificent propeller. It is almost the size of the propeller found at the Hermes.Dharshana Jayawardena. Easily accessible and very good dive for just qualified divers.
