shipwreck Russian transport vessel "Bryansk"
My article: "A story of an old steamer" ...... Historical information about this ship is relatively limited. The Internet search engines give out just a few options at the request of “cargo Bryansk diving”. And they reduplicate each other almost in a letter by letter manner. A lot of hyperlinks are devoted to the Liberty-class ships which were massively constructed in the during the Second World War. But these vessels do not fit the original data neither in the size (their draft was more than 10 thousand tons against 2823 that of the Bryansk) nor in chronology (they began to deliver the Liberty-class ships in the USSR in 1943 while the Bryansk died in August of 1941). Confusion was probably caused by its “namesake” which was the cargo ship Bryansk working for the Far Eastern Shipping Company from 1944 to 1974. Its former name was William E. Ritter, the Liberty ship that was purchased by the USSR as a lend-lease. The real Bryansk’s “family tree” was much longer and more confusing. It turned out that this ship was built at the shipyards of the company named Short Brothers Ltd in a small town of Sunderland (UK) in 1898. The ship changed many names and owners before getting to the Soviet Union
