DESCRIPTION
Object looks like an wreck from the I world war, steel or earlier wooden with boiler and steam engine, ship's sides (steel or wooden). Even they collapsed on sides there are in good condition, you can see the ships frames on the sides, which in big amounts are laying outside - like after an explosion inside the ship or cause of long time underwater which destroyed the ship's construction. In the photo on the right occurs a black object like an underwater mine anchoring in depths. Properly the vessel collided with this mine when cruising. In the area where the wreck in laying, in the time of I world war around 50 underwater mines where located. On one of them vessel LATON went in which matches to the description. There is a big probability that this wreck is the wreck of Laton built in 1863.
