About this site
A 108 m British coal-carrying steamer bombed two nights after the Thistlegorm in October 1941, resting upright in 35-50 m in the channel behind Gubal Island. Far deeper and less visited than her famous neighbour, she is remarkably intact with masts, kingposts and a coal-filled hold, swathed in soft corals and glassfish. Her depth and frequent strong currents make her a serious technical and deep-air objective.
