Short Walk in Costinesti Romania
Hello Steemit today I will present a short walk in Costinesti!
Today I went with some friends in Costinesti, Constanta . Here it was a ship wreck named MV E Evangelia
This vessel was shipwrecked at Costinești on the Black Sea coast of Romania.
She was built in Northern Ireland in 1942 as the Empire ship Empire Strength, was operated by Blue Star Line from 1942 to 1961, was bought by Greek shipowners in 1965 and wrecked in 1968.
The ship had four names in her career, having been renamed Saxon Star in 1946, Redbrook in 1961 and E Evangelia in 1965.
On 15 October 1968 E Evangelia was sailing in ballast from Rijeka in Yugoslavia to Constanța in Romania when she ran aground in the Black Sea off Costinești about 16 nautical miles (30 km) south of Constanța.
This vessel was declared a total loss, and there is a suggestion that the shipwreck could have been an insurance fraud.
Note: information taken from wilkipedia.
The story goes that they wanted to go aground to get the insurence money...witch they did... in the end.
