A steerable plow (20, 20a-20d) configured for underwater towing along a sea bed. The plow includes a plow body (24) and a soil cutting member (26) attached to the body. The soil cutting member is configured for forming a trench in the sea bed in a forward direction of travel of the plow. A tow member (36) is attached to the body for attaching the plow to a tow cable. The tow member defines an effective tow point which is forward of the cutting member. A steering device (30, 44, 48) is provided for creating a steering moment capable of varying the direction of travel. The steering device is positioned rearwardly relative to said tow member.
