The SS Thordisa was a 120-meter-long Italian steamer built in 1888. In 1913, it was renamed Lilla. On October 13, 1917, during the First World War, it was attacked and sunk by the German submarine U-35, commanded by Captain Arnauld de la Perrière, known for his aggressiveness and effectiveness in submarine warfare. The attack occurred while the Lilla was coming to the aid of the steamer Doris, also attacked by the same submarine in the Bajo de Fuera area that same day. After being shelled, the Lilla was finally sunk in its current position, just over 3 miles from the port of Tomás Maestre in La Manga. The name "Carbonero" comes from the large amount of coal found in one of its holds, although it is unknown whether this coal was part of its cargo or used for its own propulsion. Location: About 3.5 miles northeast of Isla Grosa, off the coast of La Manga del Mar Menor.
