The Torpedo

By frankie, 7 December, 2009, No Comment

The ship got its name from the look of its cargo.  The Thai fishtrap fishermen that originally found her saw the teak logs in her hold and believed them to be torpedos.  She is a cargo vessel of around 1000 tonnes and is believed to have sunk due to her being overloaded, reducing her freeboard allowing her to swamp with water.

She sits upright in 53m of water and can be dived amidships comfortably at 48m.  The top of her superstructure at the stern is at around 42m and is around 70m long.  This wreck is around 17 nautical miles from Koh Tao and is easily accessible.
