Jablanac Shipwreck

Submerged military vessel visible through the clear water of the harbour

In the shallow waters near the Jablanac harbour, the remains of a military vessel lie visible through the clear Adriatic water. The wreck sits close enough to the surface to be seen clearly from above without diving equipment, making it accessible to snorkellers and anyone wading in the harbour area. The precise history of the vessel is not well documented, but it is believed to date from the Second World War.

The clarity of the Velebit Channel water makes the wreck easy to spot. It is a popular curiosity for visitors waiting for the ferry to Rab, or for those spending a quiet afternoon in the harbour. The water around the wreck is shallow and calm, making it safe for confident swimmers.
