Diving on wreck of SS Thistlegorm, Sharm Al-Sheikh, Egypt...

The SS Thistlegorm was a British armed Merchant Navy ship built in 1940. She was sunk on 6 October 1941 near Ras Muhammad in the Red Sea and is now a well known diving site. During World War II, two German Heinkel He 111 aircraft of II Staffeln, dropped two bombs on the Thistlegorm. The bomb and the explosion of some of the ammunition stored in hold 4 led to the sinking of the Thistlegorm with the loss of four sailors and five members of the Royal Navy gun crew. Most of the cargo remained within the ship, the major exception being the steam locomotives from the deck cargo which were blown off to either side of the wreck.
