Rex wreck remains
The famous Italian liner Rex was hidden in the shallows between Koper and Izola in 1944, where Allied aircraft set her on fire and she capsized and sank in September of that year. After the war the hull was cut up on site for steel, so only scattered remains are left on the seabed – the Fiesa centre describes them as piles of remnants, while other accounts mention part of the double bottom, boilers and engines. The site is mainly of historical interest and is listed in the Slovenian Register of Cultural Heritage.
