The HMS Vixen was built for the Royal Navy in 1864, and was one of the earlier ships clad with iron plate. She was tough, but also very slow, and was scuttled in 1896. It is close to the shore and a popular snorkelling destination, with lots of fish.

It's also a blockade to prevent torpedo attacks (?)
