As a result of the investigations carried out by the special diver team, an anchor thought to belong to the Rüsumat 4 ship was found in an area of approximately 1 square kilometer. Divers stated that the ship may have been covered with sand in the stream bed approximately 100-150 meters from the shore. The ship’s anchor and some debris were reached using an underwater camera.

Elmas said, “Rüsumat 4 will make great contributions to the Eynesil district and Giresun’s tourism. We wish to reach the wreckage of the ship as soon as possible and bring it to light.”
