The Epsilon detonated a mine laid on Jan 22 1917 by a German submarine UC-17 in Falmouth Bay. It was on a voyage from Buenos Aires to Amsterdam carrying maize. Owned by N.V. Vrachtvaart Mij. Bothnia (B. J. van Hengel) in Amsterdam. The Epsilon is very broken; 2 boilers most noticable remains. It was dynamited after being designated a hazard to shipping and they did a good job. Maximum depth is 26m on a high water.
