The wreck of the steamer ARES in tha Baltic sea. Swedish steamer of 1151 GRT. Built in Sunderland in 1883 under the name Magnolia. On May 18, 1906, the Ares collided with the Dutch SS Hilversum and sank; the entire crew of the Ares was rescued. The wreck of the Ares is probably one of the most visited wrecks in the Baltic Sea, because it lies with its keel on the light sandy bottom, in only 33 meters of water.
Size of the ship: 70,1m x 10,4m x 4,5m

The Dive
We dived the wreck on August 15th 2024 during the Marine Research Germany project. The dive wasn’t very difficult, because it wasn’t too deep (33m) and the wreck just 70m long.
The wrack has some nice features, like the two anchors on the fore deck and a spare propeller on the back deck.
The model
I split the model into three pieces to build a 60cm model.
