THE Madame Alice is a 194nt steel steamship built by Dublin Dockyard Co in 1904.
She was lost on the 16th Febuary 1918 on a passage from Fleetwood to Stornoway following a collision with the steam yacht Iolaire.
The crew of the Madame Alice made it safely to shore and the Iolaire, although damaged, survived the collision only to be tragically lost when she ran aground near Stornoway, less than a year later.

Madame Alice lies in 40-42 metres in the Firth of Lorn a mile offshore from Ganavan Sands, sitting almost upright, with a slight list to starboard.
The hull is still fairly intact although the bridge superstructure and the stern are breaking up.

Visibility can be low due to the outflow from the Falls of Lora but, apart from the depth and many entangled fishing nets, there are no great hazards on this dive
