Sunken ships in Mediterranean harbour ?

[Boo2]

Twice, a long time ago (first in 1966 and then in ~1971) I travelled in ships in the Med. The first time was on a journey from Holland to Thailand via Suez and the second from somewhere in Italy (maybe near Rome) to Beirut.

On both occasions I remember seeing a pair of sunken ships at the entrance to a harbour, off the starboard side of the ship as it went in and very near to it. I'm sure it was the same harbour both times because I distinctly remember remembering the first time on the second occasion (IYSWIM). I was very young then and have no recollection as to which harbour it might have been, can anyone here hazard a guess ? Are they still there ? Anyone got any pix ?

Thanks,

Boo2

I know of a harbour in the Ionian somewhere that has a sunken aeroplane from WW2 but no boats.

At Ag Giorgis on the North side of Methana they sank a small coaster, filled it with concrete to extend the North mole. Can be seen clear on Google Earth.

Toulon? Still some visible, also on Porquerolles nearby.

There is one just by a Harbour, but it is more recent from some 'importers'. Single engine low wing lying in a few feet of water.
