SS Nailsea Meadow was a freighter sunk in the Second World War by the German submarine U-196 on 11 May 1943. She was transporting tanks and supplies to the Eighth Army under General Montgomery in Egypt.[3]

Wreck

The Nailsea Meadow was found in 1997 by Emlyn Brown working with the National Underwater and Marine Agency and Clive Cussler, at first believing it to be the lost {{SS|Waratah}}.[4] On closer examination in 2001, it was declared to be the Nailsea Meadow.
