Coastal Landmark

A rusty shipwreck that lays off the island of Gramvousa, Crete, Greece has become the landmark of the area. In 1967, the ship was transporting 440 tons of cement from Central Greece to Northern Africa. Terrible weather conditions forced the ship to anchor in Diakofti Bay in Kythira. It then continued its voyage, but again weather conditions caused it to anchor off the coast of Gramvousa. The right anchor was cut and the ship soon flooded with water. The crew abandoned the ship in the same place it remains today.
