Temple Hall

Arrecife, Spain

Temple Hall was a cargo motor ship that was built in Dundee,Scotland in 1954. She was later renamed Pantelis in 1969 and then again as Telamon in 1977. In 1981 Telamon sprang a leak in a storm and was beached on Lanzarote in the Canary Islands to prevent her sinking. A subsequent storm broke the wreck in two, and the forward part sank. The aft part of the wreck remained above water, forming a local landmark and sea mark for more than four decades. Work to dismantle the wreck in situ began in 2022. The work was indefinitely suspended in mid-2023.
