In February 1944, the Egean Sea was the theatre of the biggest naval disaster of the Mediterrenean.
The ship Oria, which had departed from Rhodes on February 11, sank amidst a storm off Sounion Cape, carrying more than 4200 Italian PoWs and about 90 German soldiers. Very few survived: about 50 among Italian and German soldiers.
Given the very high human cost, the sinking of the Oria is considered one of the worst naval disasters ever.
