How to photograph the most photographed wreck in the World, Thistlegorm, I thought - and almost dug myself into the bottom under the stern to get a tall perspective. 16mm, Minolta 700si in Seacam housing. No strobe. Agfa Scala b/w slide film.
Looking from Hold 1 into Hold 2 SS Thistlegorm....was going to post the famous ladder in the Rope Locker under the bow that everyone takes......but no not this time!
The wreck of Umbria lies in 0-90 feet of water, just outside the harbour in Port Sudan. The ship is leaned against the reef at a 45 degree angle. It was sunk by its own crew in 1940 to prevent its cargo of war materials to fall into allied hands.
Looking through doorway into 01 Deck 3 Cargo Bay SS Thistlegorm ( Not that great a photo ) But unusual doorway shape !

This was taken just outside of South Male Atol in the Maldives. I can't remember the name of the wreck, but she was a small supply ship that sat perfectly upright in the sand. With an abundance of life the mast provided a nice photo oppertunity. D70.
