SS Dunraven
SS Dunraven was a British merchant steamship that was launched in 1873. The ship was built by William Doxford & Sons, a shipbuilding company based in Sunderland, England. The SS Dunraven was primarily used for the transport of goods and passengers between Britain and India.
History[edit | edit source]
The SS Dunraven was commissioned by the British-India Steam Navigation Company, a shipping company that operated in the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea. The ship was named after George Wyndham, the 4th Earl of Dunraven.
In 1876, while on a voyage from Bombay to Newcastle upon Tyne, the SS Dunraven hit a rock near the Strait of Gubal and sank. The wreck was discovered in 1977 by a team led by Jacques Cousteau, a renowned French oceanographer.
Wreck[edit | edit source]
The wreck of the SS Dunraven lies at a depth of approximately 30 meters. It is a popular site for scuba divers, who are attracted by the ship's well-preserved structure and the abundant marine life that inhabits it. The wreck is also of interest to maritime archaeologists, who have conducted several studies on it.
