The Sea Diamond hit rocks off Santorini on April 5 and sank hours later. Some 1,600 people, mostly American tourists, were evacuated from the ship, but two French passengers were never found and are presumed drowned.Photo was taken from my trip in March.

Hard to imagine that this beautiful ship is now sunk. You had good timing..!

Excellent image, Yiannis. Apparently the accident was caused by erroneous mapping information in the official nautical charts! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M/S_Sea_Diamond#Sinking
