GHOST SHIP - Evangelia
AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :
Contributor Mariansteria created this epic drone video of one of the most famous shipwrecks in the Black Sea. The Evangelia was a refrigerated cargo ship which was wrecked near the Romanian seaport city of Constanta (Costinești, home of the largest port on the Black Sea) in 1968. The video contains some epic head-on and overhead shots of the extremely eerie looking 7k+ ton gross ton rusting ship, which stands nearly upright in shallow waters. The wreck is easily accessible from the nearby Costinesi Resort.
