SS Gallia, built by Bartram, Haswell & Co. Sunderland in 1887 and owned at the time of her loss by Federazione Italiana dei Consorzi Agrari, Genoa, was an Italian steamer of 2728 tons. On October 24th, 1917, Gallia, on a voyage from Tyne to Savona with a cargo of coal, was sunk by the German submarine UB-40. There were no casualties.
An enjoyable wreck despite lying completely upside down.
