    The Imperial Eagle ferry 
    North-East of Qwara Point (St. Paul's Bay) 

.

.

The Imperial Eagle was one of the ferryboats connecting Malta and Gozo.
The hull, in navigation trim, lays on a sandy bottom at a depth of -42m, 300m North-East of Qwara Point.

.

L' Imperial Eagle era uno dei traghetti che collegano Malta e Gozo. 
Lo scafo giace in assetto di navigzione su un fondale sabbioso ad una profondità di -42m, 300m a Nord-Est di Qwara Point.

The wide hold is open, and the wreck allows an easy and interesting dive.
A large statue, representing a blessing Jesus about 3m high, rises a few meters from the old ferry.

La grande stiva è aperta e vistitabile, e il relitto consente immersioni facili ed interessanti.
Una grande statua di Cristo benedicente, alta circa 3m, sorge a pochi metri dal vecchio traghetto.
