Century-Old Steam Tugboat Emerges from Serbia's Drying Sava River Amid European Drought
A 113-year-old steam tugboat known as the Slovenian has reemerged from the drying Sava River near Sremska Mitrovica, Serbia, amid Europe's ongoing drought and extreme heat. Built in 1913 in Budapest, the vessel survived two World Wars and was used for cargo transport and wartime efforts. Locals and historians note this is the most extensive exposure of the wreck in years. The drought has also revealed other relics and disrupted river traffic and power supplies across Europe.
