The
paddle steamer Siraly was built at Schiffswerft Budapest
in 1899 to do service as a passenger ferry on the Danube
river for the company Donau-Dampfschiffahrts-Gesellschaft
( DDSG ). In 1904 she was renamed Dürnstein and under
first world war she was chartered by Lloyds Austraico and
did service at the city of Trieste. Little is known about
her history after first world war and she sank after a
navigational error during a storm south of Odessa 1.
January 1944. According to some sources she was torpedoed
by a Soviet submarine but this has not been verified. The
wreck of Dürnstein was located in 2006 and rest today on a
depth of approx 25 meter outside Ilyichevsk in Ukraine.
