TWO NEW TITLES FOR 2021

MISTAKEN IDENTIY-heres a glimpse

MIST ID

ALMIRANTE BARROZO/S.S. BHIMA

Most of our find in the Red Sea have been in almost idyllic conditions, great viz warm water little or no current, and an average depth of 25 mtrs. Even so it requires a scientific approach, and any assumption can leads right down the wrong path.

So put a wreck in 70 mtrs, open water, strong currents, and shipping passing overhead. It’s an achievement in it’s own right to locate and dive, and indeed bring back details.

Despite all the work and research done over the last 30 years- and many independent bodies have provided us with “complete lists”-more  names still turn up. Even DODAS, the  hallowed and highly respected publication by LLOYDS comes up short.

The two wrecks/ships below are similar- but not identical. The obvious clues in the mis identification were there all the time; No armament, two masts instead of three, and a tiny almost auxiliary engine and not a triple expansion engine that would be required to drive a warship.

While only 30 ft longer  the  A B  was an armed corvette while the Bhima was an auxillary brig, and in essence a bigger vessel in beam and draught as well as length.

ALMIRANTE BARROZO

Built in 1880, described as a steam  corvette, The ALMIRANTE BARROZO was on a world navigation  voyage and training exercise when she experienced compass deviation and ran aground near Jebal El Ziet in the Gulf of Suez. Then a lieutenant, Admiral Botteaux and her crew were rescued by HMS Dolphin, commanded by Lieutenant Christopher Cradock.Her master was Captain J.M. Batista De Leao.

“In 1893, while under the command of Lieutenant Christopher Cradock, she rescued the crew of the Brazilian Navy corvette Almirante Barroso, which had wrecked on the coast of the Red Sea near Ras Zeith on 21 January 1893 during an around-the-world cadet cruise

History

The Cruiser Almirante Barroso , was the second ship to bear that name in the Brazilian Navy in honour of Admiral Francisco Manuel Barroso da Silva, Baron of Amazonas. It was built by the Arsenal of Navy of Rio de Janeiro, with national iron produced by Fábrica Ipanema, according to the plans of Captain-Lieutenant (EN) João Cândido Brasil and those of machinery by Captain-Lieutenant Manoel J. Alves Barbosa. His keel was struck on March 1, 1880, launched April 17, 1882, in the presence of Emperor Pedro II and his patron, hero of the Battle of Riachuelo, in addition to other authorities. It had a cost of approximately 790: 000 $ 000. She was incorporated into the naval fleet  June 26, 1884 and submitted to the Armament Exhibition on July 13, 1884.

Under the command of Captain-de-Mar-e-Guerra Luís Filipe Saldanha da Gama, she made a famous trip to the United States, having called at Barbados, Jamaica, New Orleans, Havana, Matanzas, New York, Newport, São Miguel, Madeira , Santa Cruz de Tenerife (Canary Islands), São Vicente, São Tiago, Santa Catarina and Ilha Grande.

1884

On August 19, the Evolutions Squadron created by Notice no. 1541A, of the then Minister of Business of the Navy, Admiral Joaquim Raymundo de Lamare was incorporated. The Evolutions Squadron had as its first commander the Chief of Police Squadron Arthur Silveira da Mota, Barão de Jaceguai and was formed by sixteen ships, among them the battleships Riachuelo , Sete de Setembro , Solimões and Javary , the cruisers Guanabara , Almirante Barroso , Trajano and March 1 , 1st Class Torpedoes 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 and 5 and the 4th Class Alfa , Beta and Gama Torpedo Boats . The Evolutions Squadron was the most modern nucleus of the Brazillian fleet (Armada) at the time,  and was equipped with ships with the best propulsion, artillery and torpedoes.

1888

She was seconded from the 2nd Cruiser Division to undertake an Instructional Trip for the Navy Guards of the Class that concluded the course at the Naval School in the year 1886.

On October 7, under the command of Captain-de-Mar-e-Guerra Custódio José de Mello, she left Rio de Janeiro on a Navy Guards Instruction Trip, her first circumnavigation trip, and the second by a Brazilian warship. On that trip he sailed 36,692 miles and climbed in Montevideo, Buenos Aires, Punta Arenas, Colonia de Magalhães, Valparaiso, Sydney, Yokohama, Nagasaki, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore, Batavia, Atjeh (Acheen), Colombo, Bombay, Aden, Jeddah, Suez, Port Said, Alexandria, Naples, Toulon, Barcelona, ​​Gibraltar and Salvador. The 2nd Lieutenant , Prince Dom Augusto Leopoldo, son of Princess Leopoldina, was part of the ship’s officiality.

30 years of publishing

In 1985 I wrote my first underwater dive guide. A humble look at diving along the North East Coast. Thanks to some unexpected publicity from the BBC, it was to kick off a career beyond my wildest dreams.

2016 see the 30th anniversary of that first publication, and to celebrate, I am producing no less than 20 shipwreck guides in E-BOOK PDF format, and making them available to all divers absolutely free.

 

The pilot Title “The Tile Wreck, her True Story” was downloaded in 35 countries in the first month of publicaton.We have a world wide audience and readership-despite the fact they are only published in English

 

This has been made possible due to the outstanding support of our Sponsors; AP DIVING, APEX MARINE, SEA & SEA, CAMERA’S UNDERWATER, OTTER DRYSUITS, MYFLEX HOSES and the EGYPTIAN STATE TOURIST AUTHORITY.

Ten of the titles spotlight the Egyptian Red Sea, 4 detailing the areas of Suez, Safaga, Tiran and the South, while the Tile wreck, The Russian Wreck, Rosalie Moller and Thistlegorm each get their own volume. “They Never Came Back” features ships built on the Tyne, which have found their final resting place in Egypt, and “Egypt’s Top 20 Wrecks” showcases the very best of Egyptian Shipwrecks.

Ten other titles cover various collections of shipwrecks worldwide; Truk Lagoon, Palau, Pacific, Malta, the Maldives, Leros, Bushuanga and shortly Subic Bay.

THE COMPREHENSIVE GUIDES TO EGYPTS SHIPWRECKS;

30 years in the making, 480 pages of A4 text images and sketches, these 5 volumes cover a journey from the Sudanese border up through the Red Sea, Gulf of Suez and in the final volumes the unexplored Mediterranean coast to Sollum on the Libyan border . It pays tribute to the staggering work of the RSWA members- many of whom have never been underwater, but without their help this would not have come to fruition. A staggering amount of accurate information on over 200 shipwrecks, many still waiting to be found of the med coast. Not yet definitive as there is still much work for our dive team to do- including locating the ALMIRANTE BARRAZZO and the  P&O SHILLONG. No doubt it will be plagiarised and copied into other web sites and there may even be a second edition of the seagoons novel.

E book concept

The idea of the E-Book series came about after seeing so many incorrect publications quoting the wrong identity of the Tile Wreck at Abu Nuhas in the Egyptian Red Sea. Despite a plethora of undeniable facts presented by myself and members of the Red Sea Wreck Academy, self-proclaiming experts still, for reasons known only to them, continued to quote the Marcus as the Chrisoula K. It was archive photographs from Howard Rosenstein and the location of the ships bell, which added weight to Stephan Jablonski’s accounts of the sinkings’. This new material gave us enough to produce the first E-book in 2008.

Being free from restrictions it soon found its way around the world and was passed on from diver to diver. It had the desired effect. Now more and more reports carry the correct identity. Sadly some don’t!

It was also an opportunity to give something back to diving. Of course there was also controversy over the identity and purpose of the Russian Wreck at Zabagad, and this lead to the second title. “75 Years Underwater” is THE definitive guide to the worlds most dived wreck. “Suez Wrecks”-NOW DIVE EGYPT PT 3 highlights the achievements of our regular wreck hunting trips up into the Gulf and “ dive Egypt’s wrecks”  in 5 volumes is the most comprehensive guide to these waters .Other area’s are also featured ;Subic Bay, Leros, Truk Lagoon, Maldives Malta,FLORIDA,  Coron and Palau.

12 years on, the project has proved its worth, despite being ignored by the diving press, and with its place on the issuu platform at KUBI/MIFLEX continues to provide true and accurate  information on many of the worlds best wrecks.

So now we have a total of 25 titles available,  yours to enjoy and pass on to anyone who may be interested. Don’t forget we run regular expeditions and safaris to all these featured wrecks.

Safe diving.
