Abille steam tugboat

​​

This wreck has never been oficially identitified. In diving community it is believed to be the steam tugboat "Abille", built in Leith in 1936, and drafted into Kriegsmarine in 1940. It sank in winter 1945, while helping another ship on Hel's roadstead. Down there, in the dark waters of the Baltic sea, it looks like a real ghost ship. Its most remarkable feature is the engine room, in which steam boilers can be seen.
