The shipwreck Moira Pula is located near the abandoned Katarina Naval Base which was built during the Austro-Hungarian Empire, then became Italian and during WWII it was a base for German U-boats.
After WWII it was used by the Yugoslavian military between 1947 and the early 1990s. A private company is planning to develop a new marina but development has been held up because of abandoned boats like Moira that havenβt been claimed or removed, unexploded weapons from WWII and other such problems.
