I remember this ship over the water as a kid when we spend our summer with my family at kala Limania area.

After 33 years i managed to visit back the shipwreck of Byron I and take some shots.

BYRON I was a cargo ship carrying 11.000 tons of sugar.

On January 17, 1985 at around 11.30am, all Crete was in the grip of unprecedented bad weather with heavy winds, heavy rains, floods and cutoff communications.

BYRON I strayed to the bottom. The SOS that transmitted for unspecified reasons never reached the Heraklion Port Authority. The signal was captured by the Merchant Marine’s business booth and sent a rescue helicopter to the area.

By the time BYRON I was cut in the middle and made salty sea water …sweet.

The crew managed to leave the ship and be saved.
