About this site
Italian Barge Ship is a Second World War wreck in Lakki bay on Leros, lying about 100 metres from the wreck of the destroyer Queen Olga. It was an accommodation barge, possibly used by officers.
German aircraft bombed it heavily, and it sank completely in the bay. The wreck lies entirely underwater at a depth of 29 to 30 metres, close to the Queen Olga wreck in the same bay, so the two can be seen on one visit to that part of the bay.
