Det
tyske skipet Goya forsvant i dypet i Østersjøen den 16. April 1945 under
en reise fra Danzig til Stettin. Ombord på Goya var et stort antall
flykninger og soldater fra Wehrmacht som forsøkte å flykte fra den sovjetiske
Røde Arme. Goya ble oppdaget av den Sovjetiske
ubåten L-3 under kommando av Konovalov, og i løpet av kort tid torpedert
med to torpedoer. Goya brakk raskt i to deler og sank i dypet på fire
minutter, og det er antatt at ca. syv tusen mennesker omkom i denne
senkingen. Kun 175 mennesker ble berget opp av det kalde vannet. Vraket
av Goya ble funnet på begynnelsen av 2003 av et filmteam fra den tyske
tv-stasjonen MDR på en dybde av åtti meter. Se også av vrakene

submarine L-3 under command of Konovalov, and within short time
torpedoed with two torpedoes. Goya quickly broke in two pieces
and sank in the deep in four minutes, and it is presumed that
approx. seven thousand people perished in this sinking. Only 175
people were salvaged from the cold waters. The wreck of Goya was
found in the beginning of 2003 by a film team from the German

Wreck of sunken liner found
19/04/2003
German deep sea divers have discovered parts of the wreck of the Goya,
an ocean liner which sank in 1945 with thousands of refugees aboard,
MDR television said on Thursday.
The divers, who were being filmed by a documentary team from MDR, found
the wreck about 80m below the Baltic Sea. The Goya was carrying more
than 7 000 German refugees when it was sunk by two torpedoes from a
Russian submarine on April 16, 1945, making it one of the world's worst
maritime disasters. By comparison, around 1 520 people died when the
Titanic sank in 1912.
Of those aboard the Goya, only 175 people were saved. |
