Hi Byron,

Where in the Aegean is this? I used to live on Rhodes and did a lot of diving there.

Re: Plane wreck in the Aegean

Hi Byron,

57m deep! Cristal clear waters ... and cold.
...
I've been there, sailing a 1928 sailing boat, coming from France, final destination being Rodos for charter during summer time.

I'm sure you've seen her Byron: Her name is "Milena". She sailing in Greece every year since last 70s ...

Very nice photos; thanks to share them.

Regards, Franck.

Hi Franck,

Yes, i know "MILENA", unfortunately the old Ferry, after a long career in the Aegean, has been dismantled.
best regards from Salonika

Thanks for sharing Franck...

Byron, a bit of lick, spit, and duct tape, and she'll take to the air in 6-9 months.



All the best

Andreas

Re: Plane wreck in the Aegean

Thanks for the clarification. Franck, I have also seen 'your' Milena at Rodos, I lived there in 1983-84, and my dad for ten years. I knew some people who lived on their boats year round, was always an entertaining international community there.
