Yes, I like the atmosphere around some wrecks and I agree to Stan, every wreck has its own mostly sad story. But it is interesting to dwell on such stories and the belonging history.
The story of this wreck reads as follow (by diving.hr )
This is one of the most beautiful wrecks in the Adriatic but at the same time one of the most difficult scuba diving sites. Once this wreck was a merchant ship used to transport timber from Rijeka to Sicily. During one voyage, in the dense fog, “Lina” struck against an underwater reef, about 300m away from the CRES lighthouse and sank. The crew was saved. It happened during the night in January 1914.
