Bowbelle
This Sand dredger which sank on 25 March 1996 was known as the Bom Rei. However, in its shadowy past it was also known as the Bowbelle. On the 29 August 1989, the Bowbelle was involved in a tragic accident on the River Thames in London, UK, as it rammed the dance-club boat called the Marchioness. The sad result of the accident was 51 dead. One year later, the boat was sold to a company in Madeira as a sand digger and renamed to Bom Rei.

During routine sand dredging operations, the boat broke in the middle and sank at a depth of 32 meters. The wreck is still in good condition and offers refuge to a varied range of fish and marine life. After only a short time, marine plants grew in abundance on the wreck and the boat has become a pulling point for underwater photographers and video enthusiasts
