Wreck Josephine

A cargo steamship owned by the Austro-Hungarian merchant marines, the Josephine was built in 1864 and sank some 50 years later when it hit a mine while sailing to Trieste.

The force of the explosion ripped the prow from the rest of the hull that now lies not far from the rest of the wreck. The wreck lies in an upright position, and it is possible to dive through some of its parts.

The few remains of fishing nets that cover the wreck add to the diving experience and do not present any danger.
