Ships, Wrecks, Screws and Rudders


My Best Vanna White Pose

Growing up a Navy brat I had long known ship's screws can be quite large but I was still surprised when I first saw the ANA's rudder and screw sitting on the bottom of the Red Sea. While visiting the wreck we all had to get a photo posing by the screw (Notice the different colored edge area of the screw where diver's hands have kept the coral worn clean).
The surprising size of this wreck made you feel humbled by the power it took to sink the ship. One of the guys searched online and couldn't find any information out about the wreck so we are left to wonder under what circumstances this ship met her end.
