SS Justicia

In November 1916, a mine sank the hospital ship HMHS Britannic, which left White Star Line with enough crew to work Justicia.

The Shipping Controller therefore transferred Justicia to the Oceanic Steam Navigation Company (White Star Line). However, the ship was...

Good on the crew for the escape!
It‘s so impressive to the the sub by your video again. Very well done Steve and I like music 😜
Was really a great time we had up there in Ireland 😊
My Grandma’s cousin was on Luxor. The records say that the crew survived, but he had been invalided out of the Royal Navy with tuberculosis before joining the merchant navy and Luxor. Unfortunately the sinking exacerbated his tuberculosis and he died. I believe his name appears on a war memorial and possibly in the Masonic hall but I cannot confirm ether.
The glorious summer of 1976 as a young boy camping at Wasdale Head, i donned my fins and mask and ventured as deep as i could on a lung full of air. Not getting too far and absolutely bricking it for not knowing what lay below me in the darkness. Finally..... almost a half century later.... i find out. Nothing 😂 Interesting vid. Nice dive. Thanks.
Thanks, Did you miss the Grumman Avenger Engine (a Radial Wright Cyclone) and Tail Plane in '76? (crashed in '45) 😂
@@stevenwinstanley in '76 I missed everything... just a kid and scared of anything and everything that might be down there. It was interesting to watch your descent, plus the view of Great Gable and Scafel Pike just before hand. Its funny how some scenes are just imprinted in your memory. I'd love to revisit one day. All the best.... S
