@alejandro1904 She certainly is impressive, and when you're the only group on her, she seems to be larger than usual. If you get to night dive her again try to get to the foredeck and either turn your torch off or put the lamp against your chest and swim forward in the darkness for a truly memorable experience!
many thanks for all your hard work, a wonderfully presented snippet of history for those of us lucky enough to visit without knowing as much as we probably would like to
Awesome guide sir , thank you for the effort you put into creating this excellent work !! A few years ago I saw some photos of Fiat sedans in 1 of the Thistlegorm’s holds . Have you ever seen those cars ? And if so , any chance you have video footage of them ?
Thank you for that. No Fiat cars on Thistlegorm, I'm afraid, they're on the wreck of the Umbria down in Sudan, but you may well have seen a picture captioned 'Fiats on Thistlegorm' because there's a lot of poor information on the Red Sea shipwrecks out there.
14:52 never seen any pics or footage of the starboard locomotive boiler before Mike, do you have more pics/footage of these or the cabs that aren’t it in this or the 8F video? Great stuff as always 😃
I've more starboard boiler footage, and video of what at first sight looked like the starboard cab, but not so sure now, the plate it's made from looks much too thick and the shape doesn't seem quite right even allowing for the blast. Oddly, I've less port boiler footage, despite it being easier to visit, and nothing cab-like at all from that side. I'm intending to re-do the 8F video this year, so will try for more footage of both boilers and search for the cabs, current permitting!
@@mikeward736 thanks so much for the reply Mike, fingers crossed for a forgiving current in that case! I saw a recent video that appears to show the open smokebox door of the starboard locomotive having finally fallen off, so a few changes to document for sure. Will keep tuned to the channel as always! All the best
