The Aikaterini Laskaridis Foundation’s latest bilingual publication Shipwrecks of the Greek Seas – Dive into their History sheds light into the twenty most important shipwrecks of the Greek seas, as key witnesses of modern maritime history.

The book focuses on shipwrecks from the era of steam, as there are few remains from wooden ships dating back to an earlier age. The publication includes historic shipwrecks, such as the cruiser ELLI that was sunk by Italian submarine Delfino during peacetime on August 15, 1940, near the island of Tinos, and lesser known ones, all part of the evolution history of merchant marine.
