SS Minnewaska wreck (Marathi)

SS Minnewaska was a 1908 British ocean liner that hit a mine near Souda Bay on 29 November 1916 with about 1,800 troops aboard; the captain ran her aground near Cape Dentero at the entrance to the bay without loss of life. She was broken up on the spot from 1918, but some parts remain. It is one of eleven wrecks opened by the Greek Ministry of Culture and Sports in 2022 (open designated monument, exterior only, advance e-mail notification). A dive-listing gives about 19 m maximum depth; the exact position is not published, so the marker is an approximate spot off Marathi.

Tiefe: 3–19 m
