Beirut, 20 December, 2006

The National Institute for Scuba Diving in Lebanon has been regularly conducting spectacular technical dives in Tripoli, North Lebanon on the HMS Victoria and the Submarine Torpedo carrier.

The HMS Victoria sank in 1893 after collision with its sister Ship the HMS Camperdown.

The Torpedo Boat whose name remains a mystery is a ship that was used as a Torpedo Carrier supplying the Vichy submarines with torpedoes in the open sea. The ship was sunk after receiving a direct hit either from an allied ship canon or bombed from an airplane.
