The
steamer Livietta was laid down in Genoa and launched in
1899 for an Italian company in La Spezia. She was sold in
1925 and renamed Berta, and then again in 1939 when she
received her last name as Entella. She was requisitioned
by Regia Marina in Second World War as a military
transport. Under a
journey from Cagliari to La Maddelena in a convoy with
the two other transports, the Isonzo and Loredan, she was attacked outside
Sardinia by the British submarine HMS Safari 10. April
1943. She was hit by a torpedo but managed to stay
afloat, and was beached near Torre Finocchia. The next
day HMS Safari returned and sealed her fate with another
two torpedoes. The wreck is today totally flattened out
and wreck debris and parts of her rest on a depth
of approx 10 to 20 meters outside Torre Delle
Stelle on Sardinia.
