During 2014, 2016 and 2018 a dedicated group of divers documented the wreck which resulted in a 3D model of the wreck. The Cesare Rossarol was an Italian light scout cruiser (Italian:esploratore leggero) measuring 85 m (279 ft) long and 8 m (26 ft) wide. She was equipped with Yarrow type 3 three-drum water tube boilers with water pipes, two groups of steam turbines Belluzzo of 24,000 HP, two 3-bla
de propellers, a fuel capacity of 325 tons, giving her a range for 2,400 miles at 13 knots. She began service in November 1915 and hit a mine during the end of WW1 on Saturday 16th of November 1918. The two parts are currently laying on the bottom of the Adriatic on a depth of 51 meters 300 meters wide from each other. During July 2014 a group of divers will try to document not only the two main structures, which a frequently visited by divers, but also the area in between. Goal is to document the state of the two main structures of the wreck including the field of debris in between the two parts of the wreck. It is necessary to connect the two main structures with cave lines and also to map it precisely. All equipment from the middle section of the ship is spread all over the bottom. With this base it should be possible to monitor the condition of the wreck and other parts in the future.
