Simplified Wreck Survey

The A. Capellini shipwreck is a historic maritime obstruction located in the Adriatic Sea near the coast of Italy at coordinates 43 41 N, 13 20 E. Initially reported as a 5-fathom wreck in February 1919, the site was later updated to a depth of 5 fathoms and 3 feet, with subsequent surveys noting the presence of navigational buoys used to mark the obstruction. Historical hydrographic data from the UK Hydrographic Office and Italian notices indicate that the wreck was subject to ongoing monitoring and maritime charting adjustments throughout the 20th century. By 1934, official notices directed the removal of the wreck from specific navigational charts, reflecting the changing status of the underwater site. This location remains a point of interest for maritime researchers and those studying Mediterranean underwater obstructions.
