Images of sunken ships from the Çanakkale Wars

Çanakkale

Underwater cinematographer Tahsin Ceylan and his team recorded with their camera the Gallipoli Historical Underwater Park, where the shipwrecks of the ships sunk in the war between the Allied Powers and the Allies in 1915 were found while diving in the Dardanelles.

In the region where one of the most severe naval battles of the First World War was experienced, Ceylan and his team recorded 10 of the 14 shipwrecks that were opened for diving in 2021 by the Presidency of the Historic Site, and recorded the sea creatures around the ships.

The 188-tonne British minesweeper Lundy, displayed at a depth of 27 meters at the Suvla diving spot, was used as a fishing vessel before the Dardanelles Naval War.

The British destroyer HMS Louis in the "Büyük Kemikli Burnu" was dragged into the sand after colliding with a tugboat during the Dardanelles Wars and being damaged. The ship, which is mostly sunk in the sand, serves diving lovers of all levels at a depth of 10-12 meters.

The SS Milo at Anzac Cove was built as a steamship in 1865. The ship, which was used to transport cargo in the First World War and was mostly sunk in the sand, surrounded by sea grass, is located at a depth of 5-7 meters.

A British and Australian ship, used for cargo and soldier transport, resembles a natural reef at a depth of 25 meters.

The British battleship HMS Majestic, which was torpedoed and sunk by a German submarine off Seddülbahir, is known as one of the most famous wrecks in the Gallipoli Historical Underwater Park.

The British battleship HMS Triumph, Lesbos (SS Breslau), the French submarine Saphir, the British submarine HMS E14, and the Mesudiye Battleship of the Ottoman Army are among the wrecks that Ceylan and his crew viewed.

The richness of Turkey's shipwreck inventory

Tahsin Ceylan told Anadolu Agency (AA) that on the 108th anniversary of the Çanakkale Naval Victory, they photographed the shipwrecks in the Gallipoli Historical Underwater Park.

Stating that these shipwrecks have been forbidden to dive for more than 100 years, Ceylan said that they have been brought to sea tourism with the works of the Presidency of the Historic Site.

Stating that the number of marine species in the Mediterranean is around 6,000 on the Turkish coast, which is 17 thousand in the Mediterranean, Ceylan said, "Therefore, the Turkish coasts are weak in terms of underwater fauna, but the shipwreck inventory is perhaps the first in the world."

"I see the spirit of Çanakkale in shipwrecks"

Ceylan stated that most of the shipwrecks in Turkey are the remains of the First World War in Çanakkale and that they see each of these ships as monuments.

Emphasizing that it is gratifying that the shipwrecks are opened to sea tourism, Ceylan said:

"When I dived into these shipwrecks, especially in recent years, due to the history of more than 100 years, many of the shipwrecks no longer have metal properties, they break when you touch them. They came as occupation forces, but they left their ships here. Each of them has a different story and tragedy. "Witnesses," I say. Even the images we have of these shipwrecks are important. Maybe in 20 years, these shipwrecks will break even more, and there will be nothing left. I see the spirit of Çanakkale in the shipwrecks."
