I'm wondering if somebody can help me with some more information about the below mentioned wrecks in the Black sea?
Every information is welcome, also about other Black sea - Romania area wrecks...
Heavy storm and waves up to 10 meters sank two ships in Romania's main
Black Sea port of Constanta in the evening of 4 January 1995, Radio Bucharest
and Western agencies reported on 5 January. The vessels, registered in
Malta (Paris) and Hong Kong (You Xiu) respectively, each had a crew of 27.
They sank after hitting a barrier protecting the harbor entrance. Romanian officials
said there was little hope of finding survivors because bad weather was
making rescue efforts practically impossible. The bodies of at least 10
seamen were reportedly washed ashore on 5 January. In an interview with
Radio Bucharest, Transport Minister Aurel Novac said that authorities
had warned the ships not to approach the harbor because of high winds
and seas but that the two captains apparently ignored the warning. A
third vessel, a Romanian barge loaded with 976 tons of phosphates, sank
near Agigea, some 20 kilometers south of Constanta. No casualties were
reported.
Clear waters...
