3D MODEL GALLERY
The two large openings in the center of the hull used to be refrigerated compartments originally used for the Norwegian fishing industry.
The tilted mast above the two large cargo holes. The mast was fixed in this position before the sinking and originally stood up straight.
The vessel is built very streamline with a steep forward slope and a high bow to brave the rough conditions of the Scandinavian waters.
The port side float tank which was used to stabilize the Kledkaeo on the day of her sinking so she would not tip over.
Given the ships tilted angle towards the starboard side, the float tank over here is sitting on the ocean’s floor.
The deck at the very top of the ship used to house a prominent search light. After some time under water, the light has fallen off…
The front of the bridge was ripped out completely during the sinking of the ship. Presumably this must have happened when a large floating device was tied to the window frames to keep the ship upright and keep her from tilting sideways when going down. However, instead it ripped the whole section right off…
The rear end of the bridge deck. The staircase on the left is still attached, the one on the right disappeared shortly after the sinking.
The Kledkaeo was built for rough waters. The wing-like structures would divert water that came crashing in from the front over to the sides.
