Can we consider the Sea of Marmora as part of Aegean Sea ?, I think so.

Yvon, thanks for the additional information. The only question is with the place of the incident. On the back of the photo it was indicated that this happened in the Aegean Sea. I admit that the former owner of the photo made a mistake if the official sources indicate the Sea of Marmara.
