| The Ghiannis D was a large modern freighter. | |||
| The ship was 99 m long and was propelled by 2 machines with 2 screws. On 19. April 1984 it was on it's way from Rijeka to AI Hudayda at the southern end of the Red Sea, when the bow ran aground on the reef and was held there, half swimming six weeks long, before the force of the sea smashed it into two parts. For a long time the front half remained upright and indicated the place of misfortune, then it also sagged and lay on the port side. | |||
| The rear half of the wreck | |||
| lies a little bent, on the port side. Over the front of the Quarterdecks, rises the funnel with the large letters "D". "D" stands for the name of the shipping company: Danae. |
|||
| Before the funnel | |||
| ies the bridge deck, behind it different areas, an enormous winch, the bollard, the intact railing and also the framework, which supported a large awning in former times, which did not get damaged as it sank. | |||
