Also known as 'The Dutch Wreck' In 1942 she was on her way to Bombay, India, fully loaded with ammunition, 20 trucks, 17 tanks and 3 airplanes. On her way there, 3 torpedos from a German U 109 smashed into her hull and sank her. Here you can explore the remains of the wreck, as well as the planes and tanks it was transporting. A very interisting dive.
