The St Ives was a mining trawler that  sank in Falmouth Bay off Cornwall in 1916 after it hit a mine, but the site of the wreck had remained a mystery until now. Diver Mark Milburn and historian Dave Gibbins scoured original telegrams and old government records to find the wreck.  After a two-year search they found the wreck about two miles south west of St Anthony.
