Temple
Hall was laid down by Caledon Shipbuilding &
Engineering in England, and was laucnched in 1953 for the
Brtitish company Temple Company Ltd. In 1969 she was sold
to Greece and renamed Pantelis, and her third and last
owner was Kyrikos & Sons in Piraeus as Telamon. Under
a journey from the Ivory Coast to Greece loaded with
timber, she developed a critical leak and had to be
beached to save the ship. She hit ground outside Arrecife
on Lanzarote 31.October 1981. Due to her poor condition
and damaged hull, she was towed out to her current
position. The ship was soon stricken from the official
ship lists, and later her hull broke in two. Her stern
section is still visible on the surface, while her bow is
pretty much flattened out on a depth down to 20 meters,
located between Arrecife and Costa Deguise.
