Researchers also found three almost intact World War II wrecks, including two ships and a plane.
They dated the ship—which measures 34 meters long and 13 meters wide—with the help of plentiful jug-like vessels known as"amphorae" found among the wreckage.
Given the size of the vessel, they estimate that it was likely carrying around 6,000 amphorae—which were normally used to transport products like wine, grain and olive oil—when it sunk. ."This could tell archaeologists when and where the ship was made, where the material came from and how it was repaired."Athanasios Gioumpasis/Getty Images
