What REALLY Happened to the SS Medoc in 1940?

On 26 November, 1940, during #WW2, the SS Medoc was torpedoed by a Heinkel He111 flown by Oberleutnant zur See Helmut Lorenz off the Irish coast. But the real tragedy unfolded moments later—when the Medoc’s own depth charges detonated, causing catastrophic damage and a devastating loss of life among her #PolishNavy and British crew. In this dive, I take you deep beneath the waves to explore the wreck of the SS Medoc using my #closedcircuitrebreather (CCR). Through exclusive underwater footage, we’ll examine the wreckage and uncover the chilling evidence of how her own defensive weapons sealed her fate. You’ll see firsthand the impact of the explosions, learn about the sequence of events, and discover the human stories behind this wartime disaster. *Thanks* Many thanks to the excellent SHIPS Project website for the majority of the information in this video - https://shipsproject.org/Wrecks/Wk_Medoc.html *AP Overlay* The AP 2020 Vision overlay is the latest Telemetry addition by @EricStott - you can watch his walk-thru video here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdnVcnH1iJQ *Highlights* 00:00 Introduction 04:55 Release the PILL! 08:10 Main Armament 12:05 Octopus! 14:05 37mm ammunition 18:30 Screw 20:06 What happened to Helmut Lorenze? 25:06 More ammunition! 29:33 Forward AA Mount
