MODERN SHIPWRECKS 

Most of the modern shipwrecks on the seabed of Split-Dalmatia County used to be merchant ships from the 19th and 20th century who met their fate in naval accidents caused by inclement weather and navigational errors or which were sunk during wartime. Most of these ships were made from iron and their wrecks are still relatively well preserved, with visible remains of hulls, superstructures as well as occasional remains of engines and propellers. These wrecks are also extremely rich habitats for marine flora and fauna, making them visually very attractive and, consequently, particularly interesting for diving.
