This 172m long Roll on Roll off Ferry sank 1.5km off of the port of Larnaca in 1980, going down with her full cargo of 104 articulated lorries, complete with goods which were destined for Syria. There are various conspiracy theories surrounding the mysterious sinking of the Zenobia but the official reports state that she was suffering from ballast problems, she docked in Larnaca port to try and rectify the fault but to no avail, The harbour master could not risk such a large vessel going down in the port and effectively blocking all shipping, he insisted she be towed 1.5km offshore. The problem worsened, the captain ordered ‘abandon ship’ before she listed Port side past the point of no return and headed to the sea bed where she lies today.
