Hi all,
some of you probably the first time hear from this ship. The "Goya" was one of three german ships that were sunk in 1945 within a few weeks in the same region with an estimated total loss of more than 15.000 people: the "Wilhelm Gustloff" (est. 7.000 up to 10.000 casualties), the "General Steuben" (3.500) and the "Goya" (6.500).
A few weeks ago the german explorer Ulrich Restemeyer recovered the wreck of the "Goya". Since 1991 Restemeyer also has recovered the wrecks of the "Gustloff" and the "Steuben".
Best regards Henning
