Simplified Wreck Survey
The shipwreck VITTORIA is an underwater wreck and dangerous navigation obstruction located at coordinates 39° 07.678' N, 09° 33.036' E in the Tyrrhenian Sea, off the southeastern coast of Sardinia, Italy. The site lies in the coastal waters near Punta Molentis and Scoglio dei Berni, close to Villasimius. First cataloged in UK Hydrographic Office records in January 1918 as a wreck located 520 yards at a bearing of 235 degrees from Molenti Point, its classification was updated to a dangerous wreck in January 1920. Hydrographic updates across official Italian nautical charts (including Charts 304, 305, and 45) re-verified the dangerous wreck site approximately 1 nautical mile from the Berni Light. Today, the historic VITTORIA wreck site at position 39° 07.678' N, 9° 33.036' E is a fully documented submerged obstruction of interest to divers, maritime historians, and navigators sailing the waters of Sardinia.
