Wreckage of Italian ship found in the Adriatic near Dubrovnik
Croatian Times
The wreckage of an Italian ship that sank in the Adriatic in 1915 has been found at a depth of 122 metres near Dubrovnik.
The cruiser Giuseppe Garibaldi was found by members of a local diving club. The location of the wreckage had been a secret for 94 years. No other ship wreckage has ever been found at a lower depth.
The Giuseppe Garibaldi was the pride of the Italian navy. It was over 111 metres long and armed with 29 guns. The ship was hit by a torpedo from an Austro-Hungarian U4 submarine.
The daily Jutarnji List has reported the ship was sunk while participating in an Italian attack on the railway between Sarajevo in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Herceg Novi in Montenegro.
There are no plans as yet to recover the wreckage.
