Helme
Park was a steamship built by John Readhead & Co Ltd
in South Shields, and was launched in January 1873 for W
& R Wright in Liverpool. The year after she was sold
to the company Atlantic & Eastern Steamship Company
and renamed to Zealot. Under a journey from Liverpool to
Bombay loaded with merchant goods and cotton, she hit
ground at Abu El Kizan 14. October 1876 after an
navigational error. The crew abandoned ship, and not long
after the ship rolled over and disappeared in the deep.
The wreck was found in 2003, and the battered remains rest
today on a depth of 75 to 105 meters on the northwest side
of Daedalus reef.
