The one we dived i think you will find is the SS Hermann, nothing found to confirm this, but it is about the only unlocated one in the area to match the description, being a combined sail and steam ship. Dave Batchelor came out with this ID and i think he is smack on with it.
I need to go back to her anyway as i left one of my lifting bags on her a month or so ago  |
Hi Paul, could be I have 2 marks in my book which are very close and one is named as the SS New Komet the other as the Carlton Hermann. The marks came from a certain B&B proprieter from Folkstone...
Whatever it was it was a nice dive with good vis, seemed to have a cargo of cement sacks, stone and metal poles. Found a cup on it with German writing, seemed WW2 to me.
