SS Thistlegorm

British WWII armed merchant steamship bombed by two Luftwaffe Heinkel He 111s on October 6, 1941 while at anchor at Safe Anchorage F in the Strait of Gubal. The blast tore open Hold 4 — loaded with ammunition — and split the 128-meter hull. The wreck sits upright on a sand bottom with its decks at 18 m and the propeller at 32 m, the holds still packed with Bedford trucks, Norton 16H and BSA M20 motorcycles, Bren-gun carriers, Lee-Enfield rifles, aircraft parts, Wellington boots, and two LMS Stanier 8F locomotives blown onto the seabed on either side of the hull. Rediscovered by Jacques Cousteau in 1955 and reopened to recreational divers in the early 1990s, it is the most dived wreck in the world.
