Paris Ship Wreck

This is a French cargo ship that is lying on the sand at a depth of 25 meters, about one and a half kilometers away from the Kemer Marina. There hasn't been a detailed study of this ship which sank during the World War II, and the reason why it sank is unknown. There are only rumors. The date of construction of the ship is estimated as 1896. It has got 3 decks and 2 stores. The bow, the mid part and the top of the store are wooden so they have been damaged. Lack of any kind of arms on the deck suggests that it was a cargo ship. The ammunition in the stores looks as if it was welded together. In the middle section there is a part where tiles are laid. Near the boiler, there is a wheelbarrow and pieces of coal. They all look rather interesting. This wreck, which attracted the attention of divers, has had a lot of visitors.
