The SS Vina is a shipwreck off the coast in Norfolk, UK. It was once a trading vessel for general goods between the UK and the Baltic states.

According to The National Trust, it was requisitioned as a naval vessel in 1940. The hull was filled with concrete and wired with explosives. If a naval fleet was to invade, the SS Vina would be sunk ro prevent entrance to the port of Great Yarmouth.

The ship was towed away in 1943 and was then used by the RAF for target practice. But a gale dragged the SS Vina to a sand bank off the coast of Brancaster where it sank.
