Description

Cargo steamship built up in 1864 and owned by Austro-Hungarian Merchant Navy. She sank on 17.11.1914 hitting accidentally a mine while sailing on the route dall’Arsa-Trieste. Strong explosion separated the bow from the rest of the hull so the bow lies now some 10 meters apart. The ship lies in right position, and is attractive for diving discovery and enabling visiting many parts of the ship. Very few fishing nets thrown around the wreck do not represent any danger for divers; they enrich the whole impression instead.
