Shipwreck found in Hungarian river: may be half a century old

In recent days, the water level of the River Maros has been extremely low, causing sandbanks to emerge in the river. A sunken shipwreck near Ferencszállás has also become visible.

The water level of the River Maros has been extremely low in recent days, which has caused an interesting shipwreck to surface. There is no detailed information about the wreck, as the vegetation in the floodplain is very dense and it is not possible to take close-up photos, Sokszínű Vidék reports.

The photos of the boat were taken by Attila Bodrogi, an amateur naturalist and meteorology enthusiast. You can check out his photo of the wreck HERE.

All that is known about the boat is that in its heyday, it was a barge that used to transport stones to fill the Maros, and it probably sank during transport. According to the Water Directorate’s records, the vessel may have been a Romanian crossing barge.
