Ship Wreck Saturday - MS Zenobia
Ship Wreck Saturday - MS Zenobia
This week on #shipwrecksaturday we have the famous MS Zeonbia in Cyprus.
The Zenobia wreck, often called the “Titanic of the Mediterranean,” is a renowned shipwreck located off the coast of Larnaca, Cyprus. The ship, a Swedish-built roll-on/roll-off ferry, sank on June 7, 1980, during her maiden voyage due to a technical failure in the ballast system, which caused her to list and eventually capsize.
The Zenobia now rests at depths ranging from 16 to 42 meters, making it a popular diving site accessible to both recreational and advanced divers.
The wreck still contains much of its original cargo, including intact trucks, providing a unique underwater landscape teeming with marine life. This combination of historical intrigue, relatively shallow waters, and rich biodiversity makes the Zenobia wreck one of the most famous and sought-after dive sites in the world.
