Evangelia is a Greek ship that went aground in Romania on the west coast of the Black Sea.The 7,355 tdw greek ship, 2.650 hp, Greece flag, was built at Harland and Wolff Shipyards in Belfast, Northern Ireland and launched on May 28, 1942. The first owner was the Blue Star Line. During the Second World War, American cargo was then transformed into a merchant ship.
On October 15, 1968, the ship failed at about 1.5 Mm from the northern beach of Costineşti resort, in an area of  the natural bay called the “the Frenchman’s Bay ” Approximately 12 hours before the collapse, the Evangelia crew asked for help through the Interstate and Naval Salvage Group of Constanta Harbor by transmitting a saved SOS, “Save Our Soul,” through which the craft sensed that it was in a state of difficulty.

the ship sailed very close to the seacoast and beached between two immersed rocks at approximately 200 m from shore in the vicinity of the village Costinesti, in the place where it lies right now.Regardless of the causes of the disaster, the slowly decaying ship became a local tourist attraction.
