Black Sea's Waters Reveal Ship Mystery

Society | June 24, 2004, Thursday

Bulgarian divers disclosed an unidentified ship hidden in the Black Sea waters near Kaliakra cape.

Iliya Krystev, head of the expedition explained that the silhouette of the ship was first noticed at sonar photos.

The corpus of the mysterious ship is 63 meters long and was found at a depth of 78 meters. The divers that reached the ship 6 times disclosed that it had a 20-meter long mast, which shows that it used sails.

All these facts prove that the ship was probably built in the beginning of the last century, in the years between 1903 - 1908, Iliya Krastev suggested. He also said that the ship might be "Prince", a vessel transporting large amounts of gold during the Crimean War
