The Wreck of Cap-Ferrat

In seabed that  caress the lovely and lively Costa Rei , but also Castiadas and Villasimius, Besides being rich in marine flora of striking beauty, are also home to a interesting wildlife, that in some circumstances have the opportunity to find shelter and stay in those wrecks that abound along the Sardinian coast, and embeds itself in those bottoms, deep or less, making, if they were not already, Unique.

A wide Capo Ferrato are different wrecks, which seems, All were sunk by the same submarine During the years of World War II. This would be a British submarine that patrolled the east coast probably, to block the convoys of food headed for Africa. To despair of the dramatic moment, today following the surprise and wonder that you can try when, The show puts before our life. A perfect harmony between human work and the work of the sea that has inlaid with scales, the metal walls, home today algae and most diverse marine species. To the south of Capo Ferrato, resting on a sandy bottom is still the Marte ship load built in 1917 and destroyed by a torpedo launched by the British submarine in 1942. It is divided into two parts, the hold almost completely uncovered, some cabins almost totally destroyed. Parts of the goods transported in bulk items are still visible. And 'Mars is likely to be turned before finally touching the bottom. It 'also observed a beautiful gun, now encrusted by sponges.
The
Valdivagna is to be abandoned 73 m fund. It is not too far from Mars, cargo ship built in 1913 and sunk in 1941. The stern is the best preserved. You can still see remnants of beds and health. A 3 km from Capo Ferrato you can find the Salpi. Was sunk in 1942 and today is at a depth of 49 m depth. Appears broken into two parts, are still visible and bow gun with different ammunition, boccaporti, cranes, and positions for machine guns. We close with the Palma, sunk in 1941, which today is located in a strip of sea that lies between Capo Ferrato, and Capo Carbonara. If fate has been cruel to those men and those boats, history has rewarded them in her small, making their indelible memory in our minds.
