Diving on the SS War Knight
Dive around the SS War Knight, a steamship lost in Freshwater Bay (Isle of Wight) in 1918, after colliding with SS OB Jennings. While being towed back to harbour the SS War Knight struck a mine. The ship was carrying oil from the US to London. This footage was collected in 2015.
