Luciston SS was one of the Colliers (cargo ships that carried coal). They were used to transport coal between ports and to refuel coal burning ships. The Luciston was on its way to Malta carrying a supply of coal when it was torpedoed by the German Submarine UC22 on 29th November 1916. Years later it was found back at a depth of 104 meters. It's lying on its side off Delimara Point with the wreckage of a World War II aeroplane in close proximity. Certain distinctive features of the ship are still visible, including the winch, the rope, the bollards, the ladder, the anchor, the vent and the gun, which is still in place. The entire area around the wreckage is also scattered with large quantities of coal that the ship was carrying.
