Tihany Wreck
The Tihany was a 45 m Austro-Hungarian steam cargo ship built in Trieste in 1907–1908. On 12 February 1917, carrying coal and oil from Kotor to Bar, it ran onto Cape Arza through a navigational error and sank near Mamula while being towed off. It lies at about 40 m between Dobreč beach and Mamula island at the entrance to the Bay of Kotor; Adriatic Blue calls it the largest wreck on the Montenegrin coast open to recreational divers.
