Here is one of the newest discovered wrecks in the Adriatic.
Only found 4 years ago it's been visited by less then 50 people so far. Luckily the location and depth make it impossible for looters to "drop by" so the ship along with all the artefacts is compleatly intact.

It's near the volcanic isle of Brusnik, standing upright in 80 meters of water.

The wreck itself is a mearchant steam ship sunk in 1932. It's 105m long 15m wide and 18m tall. It's broken up in 2 pieces that are less then half a meter apart, with the inside being compleatly open. The machine room is intact but silty so not the easiest place to penetrate.
The crew cabins are still there and so is the pilot house, but all the wood in the Adriatic rots very fast so it's long gone.
