Elviscot is the most famous wreck of Elba Island, a suggestive location for all the divers. But Elviscot is not the only wreck that lies under the sea. Since ancient times, Elba Island has been an important point for commerce, thanks to its strategic position in the heart of Tyrrhenian Sea. The sea of Elba Island hides other ancient wrecks.
Over the years, several archeological finds have been found. Some of them are conserved in the museums of Elba Island. And there are other ancient wrecks on the bottom of the sea:
