LOKRUM ISLAND: mummified?

Lokrum Mummified…

It lies off the Dalmation coast.
An Egyptian corpse.
Trees, like barnacles,
Cling like ancient linen
And, anchored by the Adriatic’s undersea manacles,
Lokrum’s tomb harbours
Croatia’s historic ghosts…

Lying off Dubrovnik, Lokrum reminded me of a mummified body.

Scenes from ‘Game of Thrones’ were filmed here, Richard the Lionheart was shipwrecked here and St Blaise warned of the threat of a Venetian fleet anchored here too…
