Francesca da Rimini was a cargo warship, built in 1942 in Rijeka,
under Italian ownership. The length is 42m, width 12m, with a total weight of 281 tons. It was seized by the German Navy in 1943 and used to transport
ammunition for the German troops in North Africa.
After arriving from North Africa, on March 22nd, 1944, it was anchored because of engine failure near by island Kaprije, in the Šibenik archipelago. It was spotted by two British Spitfire bombers, torpedoed her with aerial torpedoes and sank. It lies at a depth of between 38m - 57m.
At the stern is the anti-aircraft machine gun and all over the wreck are hundreds of mines and scattered boxes of ammo.

Cool! Kinda scary being around all of that old, deteriorating ordinance though. Thanks for sharing

If torpedoes likely "culprits" in March1944 would have been Beaufighter Torpedo planes (Torbeaus) which were the British's mainstay for anti-shipping operations in the Med/Adriatic by that time. If not torpedoes then still most probably regular Beaufighters.

There was a carrier variant called "Seafire". Probably they bombed it
