A lot of connoisseurs of Adriatic’s circumstances and battles know that in the 13th century, in the area between the peninsula Pelješac and the island of Korčula, one great and important sea battle took place between the Republic of Genoa and the Venetians, and on which occasion the galley’s commander Marko Polo was captured. More than 60 galleys on both sides were sent to the bottom in that battle. Wooden parts of the ships are long gone or are covered with hundred years old sediments of sand but today’s visitors can still see the amazing leaden or stone ships’ anchors as well as the parts of amphora (covered with algae, moss and sponges) on the depth of 25-40m.
