Duke of Sparta

by Mermaid Liveaboards

Duke of Sparta was a cargo ship built in Britain in 1940. She was sold to Grimaldi Brothers of Naples, Italy, in 1951, who renamed her Aquila. In April 1958 a CIA aircraft involved in a covert mission against the Sukarno government bombed and damaged her. She sank a month later near Ambon City.
