About this site
This site lies off the coast near Palermo, in the waters of northwest Sicily. The name points to the wreck of a Junkers Ju 52 aircraft, a type used widely for military transport in the Mediterranean during the Second World War, though details of this particular wreck's condition and depth are not something to build on without direct confirmation. Palermo's coastline offers a mix of rocky reefs and wartime wreckage typical of this stretch of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
