The SS Greenawn left London on her fateful final voyage in March 1941 bound for the Scottish port of Invergordon with a cargo of cement in bags. She was last seen passing Montrose and then simply disappeared. There was no distress call, no survivors or wreckage ever found. At a subsequent Admiralty Board of Enquiry she was listed as "Missing - presumed bombed". And that is how she remains listed to this day.

We pitched up at Stonehaven harbour today expecting to have to call off the planned dive 5 miles out due to marginal sea conditions. Offshore we could see white crests breaking atop a large swell. Trust in the forecast I thought. This is as bad as it will be - it can only get better....

Awesome weekend's diving just been had in the Sound of Mull - the greatest air diving location in Scotland outside of Scapa Flow. After a long period diving trimix only it was faintly nostalgic to be back diving on air on the fantastic wrecks there.

| We flashed out from Gourdon in Stonehaven Diver last night to catch the 2000hrs slack water on the MS Taurus - perhaps one of the most beautiful wrecks on this coast, a sleek, 4000 ton cargo liner sunk in an air attack whilst passing down the east coast of Scotland in convoy during WW II.
