Wreck of Jura in Lake of Constance, Switzerland.
This wooden decked passenger paddle steamer collided in dense fog with the Swiss ship "Stadt Zürich" and sank minutes later near Bottighofen on the Swiss side of the Lake Constance on 12 February 1864. The wreck is lying in 38 m depth (115 feet).
Now the wreck is lying upright on the bottom. Due to the dark and extremely cold water (5°C) down in the lake, the wreck would be well-preserved. But sadly the wreck has been quite damaged by careless divers and wreck looters over the last years. Some lower deck structures have collapsed as well as the impressive funnel. So far, despite this desolate situation, no legal protection has been launched for this wreck.
