The Wreck of Prinz Eugen – An Inverted Cruiser, Rusting Aground
Few shipwrecks are as well known as Prinz Eugen. Even if you don’t know a thing about the ship, or shipwrecks, you’ve probably seen the pictures. Of the inverted stern, resting above the surface. Rusting away in a Pacific lagoon.
But, how much have you looked into the wreck? Interior shots? Underwater pictures?
Prinz Eugen is a dangerous dive, if you go inside. But the wreck is still a very, very interesting one. Remarkably well preserved and full of surprises.
