Presenting the S/S Burdigala the ocean liner that was sank by a mine off Kea island in Greece on November 1916. NOTE: technical issues with video call sound are resolved after the 8th minute!

S/S Burdigala, better known as the  S/S Kaiser Friedrich, a name ranked in the history of world ocean liner shipping as one of the most beautiful and yet unfortunate ships ever.  With a length of 183 meters, width of 19.4 m. and 20,480 Gross Registered Tonnage, inaugurates herself as the second largest historical shipwreck which has been discovered in the Greek seas, after the HMHS Britannic. Coincidentally the common ending of these two vessels, together with the common cause of their sinking and their chronological and geographical proximity of less than 7 days and 2 miles apart- make them integral pieces of a sea bottom grid which is still visible in the crystal clear waters of Kea island in Cyclades, Greece.

Featuring Dimitri Galon(historian and technical diver), Derk Remmers (technical diver and instructor) and George Vandoros(technical diver and instructor), all members of the Burdigala expedition 2010. You may read more about S/S Burdigala and related expeditions at: https://keadive.gr/
