This photo shows a M62 T veteran battle tank submerged in the Saros Gulf, Edirne.
A combat tank sunk off the northwestern province of Edirne to boost tourism has become a major attraction for local and foreign underwater enthusiasts.
Submerged 10 meters deep and 100 meters off the coast of Keşan district’s Gökçetepe village, the M62 T model wreck is the shallowest sunk tank in Türkiye. The Edirne Governor’s Office, the Turkish Underwater Sports Federation (TSSF) and the Edirne Saros Tourism Infrastructure Service Union (ESTAB) executed the operation last June under the Artificial Reef Project.
