Klaus Oldendorf – Tales of Old

The steamship Klaus Oldendorf was built in 1892. It was sunk in 1942, probably by a torpedo of a Russian submarine. All men were lost. The wreck is located south of Porkkala, almost halfway between Finland and Estonia.

The video below was shot with a Sony MC50E video camera equipped with an Aquatica/Amphibico HW Wave underwater camera housing. A single 200W HMI lamp was used for illumination.
