Barges, having the characteristics of flat-bottomed, watertight, wide-hulled engine or enginless
vehicles, were used to transport soldiers, supplies and mounts for the pier constructions during the Gallipoli landings. It is thought that these two barges were sunk during the landing at Seddülbahir on the morning of April 25, 1915.

The smallest of the barges, located at a depth of 24 and 25 meters offshore Tekke Cove, is 18,2 meters long and its anchor and chain can be seen at the bow. The steam boiler of the other barge, which is 23,5 meters long, can be seen right next to it, lying on the seabed.
