About this site

A steel-hulled barge 17.4 metres long and 6.5 metres wide, lying upside down at 54 metres. The wooden deck has rotted away completely, but the two rectangular openings leading below deck are still visible. The source gives neither the date nor the cause of the sinking. It is a different site from the Arıburnu Barge (28.5 m) and the Küçükkemikli Barges.
