Beached, grounded silhouetted shipwrecked vessel; Cargo ship Honduran-flagged M/V Demetrios II at sunset which ran aground in Pathos Cyprus in 1998
The Honduran-flagged M/V Demetrios II ran aground off Paphos Lighthouse on 23 March 1998 in heavy seas, during a voyage from Greece to Syria with a cargo of timber. At the time of the accident, the ship had eight crew members - 4 Greeks, 2 Pakistanis and 2 Syrians. The crew were rescued and airlifted to the safety of Paphos by a British military helicopter. It was subsequently confirmed in the Lloyd's List that the competency certificates for the Greek captain and the Pakistani first officer were forgeries. The wreck can clearly be seen whilst traveling along the center of Paphos to Coral Bay Road.
