SS Thistlegorm Legendary Wreck, Red Sea, Egypt - Dive Through of the Upper Cargo Holds

Dive 1 of 3 on the SS Thistlegorm This was in the afternoon and the light was perfect to see everything on the dive. Due to the current that was there at that time we could not go see the propeller. The journey on this dive is drop down on Hold 4, look at the ammunition and ammo, then dive across the top then into the Hold 1 Upper Level. SS (Steam Ship) Thistlegorm was launched in Sunderland in 1940 by Joseph Thompson & Son and completed in January 1941. The ship was 126.5m long with a three cylinder steam engine giving it a maximum speed of 10 knots. SS Thistlegorm did only three trips. The first one was to the United States to collect steel rails and aircraft parts. The second one was to Argentina for grain and the West Indies for rum! The last and final trip was from Glasgow to Alexandria on 2nd June 1941 where the ship was carrying war supplies for the British 8th Army stationed in Egypt and Libya in WWII. The SS Thistlegorm was packed with Bren Carrier tanks, BSA & Norton motorcycles, Crossley Type Q trucks, Bedford trucks, Albion refuelers, Albion BY3 lorries, Morris commercial trucks, Leyland Retrievers, 2 locomotives and much more including 100s of rifles and ammunition. Dive 3 of the day on 20th June 2025. A huge shout out to https://www.ScubaTravel.com for the Fantastic Experience Thanks to the https://www.oceantribefleet.com/ for hosting us!
