Relitto Mohawk Deer

★★★★☆ (1,150)

In 1967 the merchant ship Mohawk Deer was being towed by a tugboat in the direction of La Spezia. Hit by a strong gale, her tow line was sheared and she crashed into the wall of the Portofino Promontory.

The wreck provides ideal habitat for large snappers, which find shelter inside the wreck, large resident groupers and a myriad of small fish that act as corollaries.
