Here for the first time the true story of the Red Sea's greatest ship wreck is now revealed in spectacular detail in John Kean's SS Thistlegorm. Spanning a period of over one hundred years from the origins of Thistle Ships to present day diving on the wreck this explosive new book silences, once and for all, the rumours and speculation surrounding this famous and mysterious dive site that for the last ten years has attracted nearly a quarter of a million visitors from allover the world. Packed full of never-seen-before photography, including the only two pictures known to exist ofThistlegorm on the surface, the book gives living eye-witness accounts of the ship's final hours through a series of exclusive interviews with survivors made by BBC freelance film producer, Caroline Hawkins. The dramatic revelations of these interviews are contained, word for word along with scores of other experiences of life with the wreck during its wilderness years between 1941 and 1990. Even the Bedouin tribesmen have their story told and for the first time their incredible eyewitness accounts of events around Thistlegorm are recorded in print. A moving foreword is given by none other than the Captain's son, Iorwerth Ellis. This amazing story of SS Thistlegorm reads like a fictional novel, however, all of the events and characters in this definitive book are very real. So, sit back and enjoy the most revealing book ever written about the Red Sea's greatest ship wreck. ISBN 10: 9771707531
