>>> From Wikipedia: Caligula built several very large and costly luxury barges for use on the lake. One ship was a shrine dedicated to ceremonies for the Egyptian Isis cult or the cult of Diana Nemorensis, designed to be towed, and the other was a pleasure boat with buildings on it. After Caligula's overthrow the boats were scuttled.
The boats were finally salvaged from 1929 to 1932 under orders of Mussolini. They were destroyed by fire on May 31, 1944 by defeated German forces retreating from Italy at the end of World War II. Surviving remnants from the excavations as well as replicas are now displayed in the Museo Nazionale Romano at the Palazzo Massimo in Rome. The ship hulls survive today at Museo delle Navi Romane, Nemi.
