Photo: Wellington Boots, inside the SS Thistlegorm
This was a rather strange sight we came upon while we where swimming through the cargo hold of the SS Thistlegorm.
There are a lot of rumors about these boots, such as; they served as decoys when loading to give the impression the ship was going elsewhere or that they were all extra large so if found they would scare the Germans and that they were all left footed.
But the truth (maybe) is that they were used to cut down on static build up on the ground crews when refueling aircraft between quick landings and take-offs
