Wreck of WWII (Italian SS Rosandra) freighter believed found off Albania

[Story]

TIRANA, Albania – Using undersea scanning devices, archaeologists from the U.S. and Albania believe they have found the wreckage of an Italian ship that British forces torpedoed during World War II when Albania was occupied by Mussolini's Fascists.

The remnants — found just off Albania's coast last weekend — probably were part of the 8,000-ton Rosandra freighter, which was hit by a British submarine on June 14, 1943, the team said on Monday, the 67th anniversary of the sinking.

It is eriely fascinating to see the outline of the vessel on the bottom like that. Like a cardboard cutout only to realize it's a ship hundreds of feet below the surface.
