Roman ship stranded in Daraa: 18 soldiers and firefighters prevented the worst (PHOTO)

A replica of the ancient Roman ship 'Danuvia Alacris' became stranded in the Drava River due to unusually low water levels, prompting a complex rescue operation involving members of the Croatian military and firefighters from Osijek. The vessel had settled onto a sandbar, and there was a risk of further damage due to poor structural condition. To address this, 18 Croatian military personnel created specialized sled-like devices to gradually move the ship toward deeper waters. Once back on the water, a military winch was used to safely relocate the ship. After refloating, the wooden structure began absorbing water, increasing the weight and posing a risk of sinking. Firefighters and military personnel continuously pumped out water to reduce the load and ensure stability during transportation. The ship was eventually returned to Germany after the successful rescue operation.

While the involvement of the Croatian military and government agencies could be seen as a matter of national interest, the narrative,

Rescue operation in Dravia: Roman ship stranded, the army had to intervene

A replica of an ancient Roman ship, the Danubius Alacris, became stranded on a sandbar in the River Drava in Croatia due to exceptionally low water levels. The Croatian military, along with local firefighters, conducted a complex rescue operation to free the vessel and safely transport it back to Germany. The ship, which is part of a European project focused on Roman life, had a porous wooden structure that began absorbing water after being refloated, increasing its weight and risk of sinking. To prevent this, large amounts of water were continuously removed from the ship during the operation. Once freed, the ship was moved to a transit port in Nemetin, where it was lifted onto a transport vehicle using cranes and returned to Germany.

Bias read (Center): The article provides a factual account of a military operation involving the Croatian army and does not exhibit clear ideological framing or biased language. It focuses on the technical aspects of the rescue mission and the historical significance of the ship without taking a stance on political or軍
