This is a small cargo ship with a length of 53 metres and a width of 8.6 metres. She was built in Dundee, Scotland in 1912 and was owned by various successive companies. She was nicknamed “Le Grec” as her crew was Greek when she sank. The scenario is the same as the Donator's. On 3rd December 1945 the Sagona sailed a bit to close to the shore into a dangerous zone in the sound of Porquerolles. She hit a drifting mine left from the war causing an explosion to port. The ship was split into two and sank immediately. Two crewmen died and one disappeared. She lies 400 metres from the Donator. Her back and middle part are still in a good shape. The front lies broken into bits 50 metres away. Divers can enjoy the beauty of the cursive scripts covered with sea fans, the chimney, the huge propeller and the well presersed inside parts. A dive to remember ! But despite the clear water and the clean sand one must not forget it is a deep dive with 47m on the sea bed and 35m on top of the wreck.
