About This Dive Spot
Relitto Bolzaneto is the wreck of an Italian armed cargo steamer that was launched in 1918 by Ilva of Genoa. During World War II, in June 1943, it was struck and sunk by two torpedoes from a British submarine near Bonassola, resulting in the loss of ten crew members and the captain. The wreck is notable for its single-barrel cannon, which remains intact along with its winches and maneuvering gears, making it a significant site for wreck diving.
