San Pablo Russian Freighter (Wreck)
★★★★☆
(173)
Depth: 60-80ft There was a lot of mystery behind the sinking of the San Pablo in August 1944 which led to the local name of “The Russian Freighter“. While not Russian or a freighter, the San Pablo actually spent her life as a fruit transport ship.
Recently declassified documents revealed that the San Pablo was sunk by the US Military using a top secret experimental weapon system deployed by a radio controlled explosive device.
