SS Greenawn discovery dive

A WWII casualty that was lost without trace in April 1941 on a voyage from London to Invergordon with a cargo of cement in bags. There was no distress call, no survivors and no wreckage ever found. She was marked as Missing by the Admiralty and although she was believed possibly bombed in the Moray Firth there had been no trace of her until this dive in 2006

Cracking video considering it was a hodge-podge taken during one dip! Good viz, close to home, it does not get much better! I re-read the section in your book for further detail. Thanks! Andrew

Cheers - we were more focussed on the dive and working out what the vessel was - than shooting a pretty video. But I thought it was as well to post it as part of the historical record of our wrecks in these parts. I will try to re-video it this year in more depth.

It must be Absolutely fascinating to discover and identify a wreck that has been lost so long. I'm in Australia and one of our biggest maritime mysteries is the SS Koombana, disappeared with no survivors little wreckage was found and her secret remains somewhere on the ocean floor. I do hope she is discovered in my father's lifetime, he has a great love for the steamers of the Australian coasts

Michael, wreck exploration is indeed fascinating. To find a ship lost for aeons and then begin to understand its story is endlessly intriguing. All the best from Scotland
