About Skanderbeg

The paddle steamer Skanderbeg was used for transport of the goods and passengers mostly on the Skadar Lake in Montenegro in the first half of the 20th century. It was built in Trieste in 1914 or 1916. Skanderbeg's first owner was Lloyd's office in Trieste. The ownership over Skanderbeg was transferred to Lloyd's office in Shkoder. When Italy took control over Trieste the ownership was transferred to Lloyd Triestino in Trieste. In 1924 Yugoslav a shipping company from Cetinje bought Skanderbeg to use it for transport of the goods and passengers over the Skadar Lake. Its route was between Rijeka Crnojevića and Shkoder. In April 1941, after the Axis occupied Yugoslavia during the Second World War, Skanderbeg was confiscated by Italian authorities, together with all boats on Skadar Lake. On 12 February 1942 Skanderbeg was captured and sunk by Yugoslav Partisans who scuttled it. Its wreck is in good condition, 11 m (36 ft) below the surface of the water and can be seen during low water levels.
