The last trip of Saint Lucia
On July 23rd, 1943 the passenger ferry Santa Lucia , the boat linkeing the Pontine islands to the Roman coast is torpedoed just off the Ventotene harbour. 70 people die in the tragedy. Why the British Beaufighters decided to torpedo a ferry transporting civilians ? Or was it actually supposed to transport Mussolini, only 24 hours after his deposal?
