The MV Dori wreck ( formely known as liberty ship Edwin L. Drake )
It´s not the Thistlegorm, but this ship participated in the invasion of Normandy in 1944, as a troop carrier. Later converted into a cargo ship, this 800 meter ship sank around 1964,in São Miguel island, in the Azores. It lies on a sandy bottom, around 25 meters of depth. Although the sea hasn´t been kind to this little giant, you can still see big hull sections, the propeller, and the engine. The most damaged part is the bow section.
