Blue Thistle
The SS Thistlegorm Wreck, Red Sea, Egypt
A defensively equipped merchant ship sunk in 1941 during an airplane attack in WWII. Initially discovered by Jacques Cousteau in the 50s, it was forgotten and rediscovered by a local fisherman.
It now sits in less than 30m with an almost intact cargo of Bedford trucks, Universal Carrier armoured vehicles, Norton 16H and BSA motorcycles, Bren guns, cases of ammunition, and 0.303 rifles as well as radio equipment, Wellington boots, aircraft parts, railway wagons and two LMS Stanier Class 8F steam locomotives.
