The wreck of the Turkish cargo ship Kaptan Ismail Hakki, is located in the bay of Agia Marina, Laconia. The ship is said to have had a sudden displacement due to heavy sea turbulence and sank in the early evening hours of January 30, 1978, 106 meters off the nearest shore. The Kaptan Ismail Hakki was Turkey's first diesel-powered ship. Witnesses say that thanks to the efforts of a shepherd who was in the area at the time, there were no casualties from the sinking of the ship. The wreck lies on the seabed at 12 meters depth and on its last voyage it's cargo comprised 578 tons of iron ore and a car. This merchant ship was built at the Gesan Shipyard in Constantinople in 1969, with a total length of 30 meters, a weight of 498 tons and a displacement of 1032 tons. | |
