Simplified Wreck Survey
The underwater wreck of the GIOVANNI BATTISTA is located off the coast of Tripoli, Libya, at coordinates 32 54.00 N, 13 11.85 E. Historically identified as a significant maritime obstruction in the waters near the Karamanli Mole, the site was originally charted following its sinking on October 30, 1943. While early surveys noted structural wreckage including the bow and stern sections, subsequent hydrographic records from the UK Hydrographic Office reclassified the site as an underwater obstruction at a depth of 5 fathoms 1 foot. Following a graduation shift in surveying data, the official position was amended to 32 54.00 N, 13 11.51 E. The wreck site of the GIOVANNI BATTISTA has been officially marked as dead or cleared in later maritime charts.
