Salsette

Overview

P&O British steamship liner, built in 1908 she is 440ft long with a 53ft beam and grossed 5842 tons. She was torpedoed and sunk July 1917, fifteen miles SW of Portland Bill. Intact and lying on her Port side this stunning wreck needs a lot of deep and UK diving experience but certainly one worth taking a Tech course for! She was built to run the postal service between Aden & Bombay but in WW1 was used between London and Bombay for her speed. Most of her 600 portholes are still intact. She was sunk by the German Submarine UB40 in just 28mins. Well worth building up your UK diving experience for. Ask us about the SSI Extended range course for this one!
