To begin SCUBA’s guide to UK wrecks, Alison Mayor and Martin Davies of Southsea SAC offer a guide to this protected site ne of the worst maritime disasters of the First World War took place to the south of the Isle of Wight with the loss of 650 lives. The tragedy of the SS Mendi is not well known in the UK, but in South Africa the Ostory is regarded as a historic national disaster and has become a symbol of unity and forgiveness. This wreck is a great dive but the diving experience is so much more memorable when you appreciate the horrific story of her loss. Mendi is a relatively challenging dive, but suitable for those experienced divers qualified to dive beyond 40m. Depending on time of year and sea conditions it can be dark, but visibility tends to be 5-10m g DEPTH: 30 –40m VISIBILITY: 5–10m (Depending on time of year) Main image: a diver explores one of Mendi's large deck winches.

Yet the memory of the more than 600 black South African troops who died en route to Europe to fight a ‘white man’s war’ was in the racially seg- regated South Africa soon faded from public memory. 100 years later, in the democratic republic of South Africa which is still battling the legacy of colo- nialism and apartheid, it has become a national top-priority to commemorate the sinking of the SS Mendi. In 2017, the University of Cape Town is both a site for violent student demonstrations and host for the centenary commemoration exhibition Abantu beMendi which pays tribute to the men who perished with the Mendi but who were never acknowledged or awarded for their service to the war effort. Comprising a plurality of artworks and documentation, Abantu beMendi is a space A Visual Ethnography by Susanne Holm where a diverse curatorial committee in collaboration with artists and stakeholders negotiate what the memory of the Mendi is today, and how to decolonise curation and representation. How do you visually and materially reconstruct a memory from a history that was ‘forgotten’?
