The wreck of a missing tourist ship has surfaced at the Vidraru dam, sparking the interest of locals and authorities.

The controlled draining of Lake Vidraru has led to the discovery of the wreck of a small tourist boat, which has been missing for decades. The outline of the vessel has become visible, attracting the attention of locals and tourists.

Discussions about the year of sinking are contradictory, with some claiming it occurred in the '90s, while others assert that the boat was operational until 2010. Authorities have confirmed the rarity of the discovery, considering that the lake level has not been lowered that much in recent decades. Options are being analyzed for the conservation of the wreck as a piece of technical heritage or its restoration for public display. Images of the wreck have gone viral on social media, generating amusing and nostalgic reactions, turning Lake Vidraru into a point of tourist interest.
