	On June 10, 1940, the “Umbria”, a huge Italian battleship went down with all hands off Port Sudan, taking with her 10.000 tons of ammunition, 30.000 bombs and aerial mines, military cars, motorbikes and 50.000 silver coins. 60 years after the ship sank, Erich Pröll visits the wreck and shows how quickly the sea’s inhabitants have turned wreck into reef
