NAPOLEON WRASSE - A special close-up encounter with a Napoleon Wrasse at Shark and Yolanda Reefs in Ras Mohammed National Park.

THE SS THISTLEGORM WRECK – The SS Thistlegorm was a British steamship that had departed from Glasgow, Scotland and was heading to Alexandria, Egypt to supply British troops with equipment during World War II. It was bombed and sunk by German aircraft on October 6, 1941 and now lies at the bottom of the Red Sea off the southwestern coast of the Sinai Peninsula. It is now an underwater museum representing a significant era in our world’s history. It was hard not to be transported back in time while swimming among the historical cargo and relics such as trucks, motorcycles, Wellington boots, anti-aircraft guns on the stern, and bathtubs used by the Captain and crew. I also felt an eerie sense of sadness thinking about the 9 men who lost their lives. It was definitely a very profound experience. This image shows the stern with an anti-aircraft machine gun.
