This is an Austrian traveling ship and is the most popular
destination in Istria.
It was built in year 1908 and sunk by hitting the mine on
the 14.08.1914.
It was transporting family members of Austrian officers on
the line Boka Kotorska - Mali Losin - Trieste.
Wishing to shorten traveling time, the ship had tried to
come through the mine field, which is 9 NM far from
Rovinj,
because supposedly that way went some merchant ship, but
with the left flank had touched a mine and sank in a short
time.
The ship is protected by the Ministry of Culture in
Republic of Croatia.
Diving is possible only through diving centers that have
special approval of the Ministry of Culture, and entering
the ship is aloud
only through the first two decks, because of the safety
reasons.
The ship is standing in a right position, very well
preserved and it gives unforgettable pleasure to divers.
