Dimitrios Shipwreck – Laconia | Greece [4K]

Dimitrios shipwreck is a Greek shipwreck famous due to its picturesque location on an easily accessible sandy beach near Gythio of Laconia in Greece. Dimitrios, a small, 67-metre (220 ft) cargo ship of 965 gross register tons cargo capacity built in Denmark in 1950, was registered in the Prefecture of Piraeus, registration no. 2707. The ship belonged 76.75% to the Molaris Brothers and 23.25% to the Matsinos Brothers. Dimitrios has been stranded on the beach at Valtaki in today's Evrotas municipality in the prefecture of Laconia, Greece, since 23 December 1981. There are many rumors about the ship's origins and how it got stranded on the beach. Most relate that the ship was used to smuggle cigarettes between Turkey and Italy. It was seized by the port authorities of Gythio and then deliberately released from the port and left to be dragged by the sea to the beach at Valtaki, about 5 kilometres from the port of Gythio. It was then set on fire to hide the evidence of cigarette smuggling. Another, less common rumor speaks of a ghost ship of unknown origins. However, according to a book written by the Honorary Chief of the Hellenic Coast Guard, Vice Admiral Christos Ntounis (1935–2010), "Ta Navagia stis Ellinikes thalasses" (translated as The shipwrecks of the Greek seas) there is more to be said about the true history of the ship. _____ Shots, Video Making: Theofilos Mpampoulis Equipment Used: DJI Mavic Air 2 Like, comment and subscribe to support our channel and click the bell to enable notifications for more videos:    / @pointofviewgr   Follow us on Instagram:   / pointofview_gr   Thank you for your great support. _____ Legal Notice: The content of this channel, including: videos, images and logo made by Point Of View GR.
