History

History:

These are two vessels used during the landings at Çanakkale to transport soldiers, supplies, materials intended for the construction of piers, and animals such as horses and mules used in the landing area. These vessels, known as barges, have flat bottoms, shallow drafts, and wide hulls, and could be either powered or unpowered. The barges are believed to have sunk during the landings carried out at Seddülbahir on the morning of 25 April 1915.

Located at depths of 24 and 25 meters off Tekke Bay, the smaller barge measures 18.2 meters in length, and its anchor and chain can still be seen at the bow. The larger barge, measuring 23.5 meters in length, has its steam boiler clearly visible on the sand beside it.
