HMS Olympus

Olympus carried 98 people when she sank, and only nine survived the long swim to shore. The wreck shows damage on the starboard side where the mine struck; the deck gun still points upwards and the conning tower hatch is open. The University of Malta placed a memorial plaque at the base of the conning tower in 2017. It was discovered in 2011 and opened to divers in 2019 under Heritage Malta regulation.
