Flamingo TB-26 wreck

www.scubaholic.si This is an Austrian torpedo-boat, which was armed with two bow-torpedoes and garrisoned by fourteen members. It was built on the 29th of August in 1889 and sunk on the 23rd of August in 1914 at 02:30 coming across own mine. The ship was sunk around 03:00. Captain J. O. Krieg has succeeded to send a light signal for urgent help and put an emergency boat into the sea. Soon after, the emergency boat was destroyed, because of the strong north-east wind and high waves. So the crew had to fight with the sea and storm. Help from torpedo-boats number 20 and 30 had arrived at 08:45. They have saved the commandant and six crew-members, but eleven members got drowned.
The bow with one torpedo is preserved, but only the working shaft with the propeller has left from the stern. It is recommended only for experienced divers. Usually, there is a good visibility. Besides a plenty of fish and crab-fish, there are a lot of "penatula" too.
