#4 - The Bow (of the KT12 Wreck)
Italy, Sardegna, Orosei
HE KriegsTransporter KT12 - a german one-design 834 ton transport ship- was built in Livorno (Italy) by the OTO Shipyard, and commissioned to the German Kriegsmarine in May, 1943.
She was torpedoed on 10 June 1943 by the british submarine HMS Safari on its maiden voyage with a cargo of fuel and vehicles for North Africa.
The blast from the torpedo ripped away the bow sinking it immediatly about 300 meters away from the actual position of the wreck, while the bowless and burning ship sunk after 41 minutes.
The bow is rather small - approx 10 meters/yards long - and resting on its port side on a sandy bottom. It is a scenic dive and often you will encounter groupers, shade fish/sea bass, amberjacks and dentex bream.
The Bow from the KT12 wreck is about 300 meters/yards south of the wreck. As he is very small it's almost impossible to find without the exact coordinates of a GPS.
I suggest to use one of the local dive operator to get there.
The Bow (of the KT12 Wreck) is also known as La Prua.
