The Thistlegorm was an active British military merchant ship during WW2 that was sunk by German bombers on October 6, 1941. Its cargo has remained intact and relatively untouched; it has been recognized as one of the top ten diving sites in the world. The ship carried a variety of different vehicles including Norton and BSA motorbikes, Bedford trucks, two train engines but most of its cargo was ammunition.

Nature’s way of re-purposing an old ship = turning it into a home for small fish. I love that a ship of war is now a peaceful place for people to view and experience in a different way than it was first intended to be.

The only thing that looks remotely preserved on this Bedford are the tires… They almost look like you could pull them right out and put them to work…
