A few of us recently dived 2 wrecks that we feel may be the wrecks of the British armed merchantmen Perseus and Worcestershire that were lost in 1917. Both sank after hitting sea mines laid by the German vessel Wolf during WWI off Colombo, Sri Lanka. The two wrecks are at depths of 40m and 57m. I'm trying to find more information about the ships, especially images in order to do a positive identification. I feel confident that the wreck at 40m is that of the Perseus. I have just got the length and beam of the Perseus off a website so will try to measure the wreck and see if it matches. If anyone has heard about these wrecks or has any information please let me know.
