Had gone. company. Surveys were being conducted for seafloor mapping for the construction of the largest submarine AC power cable, the Crete-Peloponese Subsea Interconnection.
According to researchers from the Effort of Underwater Antiquities and the Hellenic Center for Marine Research (HCMR), the wrecked ship was found at a depth of 222 metres. Marine surveyors found two-handled amphoras, a collection of ancient Greek or Roman jugs, on the cargo deck of a sunken ship. Researchers believe that the amphoras are related to several neighboring islands that surround Greece – Corfu, Skopelos and Chios, which indicates that commercial activity was going on in the Aegean and Ionian Seas. To get a clearer picture of the sunken ship, its size and volume, researchers are working on creating a three-dimensional image of the wreck. Researchers surveyed in September with the help of a remote control vehicle Known as Max Rover.
In the photos shared by the researchers, submerged pots with white age spots can be seen swimming with fish on the seashore. The skeletal structure area near the bow and forearm is also visible in green light.
Detecting wrecked ships in underwater surveys is nothing new for marine researchers. In 2018, about 900 kilometers southwest of the Aegean Sea, marine scientists found the oldest intact schooner, which was 2,400 years old. The ship was found at a depth of more than two kilometers. 75 foot long ancient ship was good preserved in the ocean floor of the Black SeaWhere there is no oxygen in the water at this depth, there is little damage to the organic matter.
