Scuba Diving in The Rosalie Moller

Often referred to as SS Thistlegorm’s sister ship, the Rosalie Moller is a very popular wreck of the northern Red Sea despite being suitable only for advanced tech divers due to its depth and visibility conditions. It was built at the beginning of the 20th century - in 1910 precisely - in Glasgow, Scotland. In 1938, it was repurposed by the Royal Navy to serve in the British war effort as an armoured cargo ship transporting coal to the troops in Egypt. At the time, the Suez Canal was heavily guarded by the Third Reich: British cargo ships had to circumnavigate Africa and enter the Red Sea from the Gulf of Aden.
