Her dimensions are approximately 30m x 6m and she is covered in coral and soft coral with a pair of very large Giant Morays permanently in residence. Overall, the fish life is spectacular - especially the overwhelming number of Lionfish. Due to war-time restrictions in force at the time, little information was made available about this wreck. She is, however, located at Lat. 33 11.3 E. Carina.
Wreckage is spread over a large area.
The Bows and stern sections are particularly interesting and the cargo is reported to have included many tons of bricks. Any information on this wreck would be gratefully received. HMS Carlisle escorted the Thistlegorm s convoy into the Red Sea in 1941 and later rescued survivors from that ship after it was bombed. Later in WW2 HMS Carlisle was lost in the Mediterranean. If so, it is likely she has been given the wrong name.
