Dimitrios (shipwreck)

Dimitrios (previously named Klintholm), a small, 67-metre (220 ft) cargo ship of 965 gross register tons cargo capacity built in Denmark in 1950, was registered in the Prefecture of Piraeus, registration no.

Dimitrios has been stranded on the beach at Valtaki (Βαλτάκι) in today's Evrotas municipality in the prefecture of Laconia, Greece, since 23 December 1981.

According to the former Chief of the Hellenic Coast Guard, Vice Admiral Christos Dounis (1935–2010), in his Τα ναυάγια στις ελληνικές θάλασσες (The shipwrecks of the Greek seas) the ship made an emergency docking at Gythio on 4 December 1980 because her captain needed access to a hospital due to a serious illness.

The crew was then fired and the task of safeguarding the ship was assigned to Georgios Daniil and Vasilis Parigoris.

But the temporary anchorage did not last for long, as the ship was swept away again and finally stranded at its current location on the beach at Valtaki on 23 December 1981.
