WWII German shipwreck discovered in Libya


Posts 1 to 1


Hi all Arebi tech diving team in Tripoli discovered WWII supply ship northeast of Tripoli, the wreck was about 86m long lie up in 58m depth, the bridge area mostly damage from what looks an explosion, since August 2003, we have done several dive missions trying to identify the wreck, we collect some pit of pieces which lead us that this wreck could be German or Italian supply ship from WWII, as well we discovered a brass compass, after we left it to the surface and carefully clean it, a serial number and German written showed up . Her is some photos showing the compass and the serial no. We get very important information from the UK admiralty : A German ship that was sunk in the seam area during WW2 ,bombed by British carrier based aircraft, the ship dimensions around 86m long, resting at 60m depth. All this information matches the wreck that we have discovered… Ship name: ACHAIA steamship, built 1921, owned at time of loss by Atlas Levante-Linie. Does anybody have any suggestions /comments/idea where the best sort of information about such wreck? Thanks Arebi
