HM Hospital Ship Glenart Castle - the 'War Crime' Wreck

Sep 7, 2025

His Majesty's Hospital Ship Glenart Castle, was torpedoed during WW1 by the German Submarine UC-56 leading to accusations of a German war crime. This video explains what happened and shows what it is like to dive the wreck during the May plankton bloom. I also recover a Union-Castle Line cup that was recently presented to the Musuem of the Royal Navy and I hope will go on display soon *Support what I Do* Thanks for watching my video and if you'd like to support what I do then please consider joining my channel - http://bit.ly/4kMVqCB You may also wish to buy me a coffee - https://buymeacoffee.com/d33puk *Shearwater Overlay* My epic Shearwater Overlay comes courtesy of @EricStott and you can watch his "how-to" video here - Shearwater Telemetry Overlay Integration - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vASSF41EGCw *Kit I Use* Note, some of these are affiliate links so help support making my videos: - Gloves are Ansell Alphatec 87-063 - https://amzn.to/4jDHhX4 - Main torch is an Orcatorch D630 - https://amzn.to/4jlT4tA - Backup torch is an Orcatorch D710 - https://amzn.to/4jhddRk - Drysuit is an O-Three Ri2-100 - https://www.othree.co.uk/drysuit-range/ri-2-100-drysuit/ - CCR is an AP Diving Inspiration (XPD) - https://www.apdiving.com/ - Backup computer is a Shearwater Perdix v2 - https://amzn.to/42FXZOW - Reels are by Kent Tooling - https://www.divingproducts.co.uk/ - Cameras are Paralenz Vaquita
