SS Heraklion capsized and sank on 8 December 1966 in the Aegean Sea, resulting in the death of over 200 people. Her demise resulted in one of the greatest Maritime Disasters in Greek history.

Heraklion's radio emitted for the final time at 02:13 a.m. "SOS, we're sinking! Coordinates are 36°52′N 24°8′E! SOS, we're sinking!" After that message there was silence.
