Slideshow of the Wreck of the Tuscania, sunk off Islay
The disasters of the HMS Otranto and HMS Tuscania in Islay waters towards the end of World War I in 1918 generate a lot of interest to this day. Over the weekend I came across several YouTube videos about diving expeditions to the wrecks of both ships: davemdive started to upload videos of the Badlads diving visit to Islay including this video of a diving the wreck of the Otranto. As I think he's still uploading further videos I'm holding off blogging about them in detail for now. Today I'm going to show you a slideshow of a deep water diving expedition to the wreck of the Tuscania and how it links to Islay instead:
YouTube: Tuscania - Legend of the deep
The probably most detailed website about the sinking of the Tuscania is S.S. Tuscania - An American History, tons of resources here. A more detailed report of the deep sea diving expedition to the wreck of the Tuscania shown in the video can be found on Divernet - An American history.
I hope you found the slideshow interesting, I'm planning to revisit the videos of the Badlads diving visit to Islay later this week or next week.
