World’s oldest shipwreck is discovered in Black Sea, The Times
"The world’s oldest intact shipwreck, complete with mast, rudders and rowing benches, has been found at the bottom of the Black Sea where it has been lying for more than 2,400 years".
"The world's oldest shipwreck: 2,400 year old 'Odysseus' Greek trading vessel discovered 1.3 miles down at the bottom of the Black Sea", MailOnline
"Jon Adams, the project’s chief scientist, said the wreck was very well-preserved, with the rudder and tiller still in place.
'A ship, surviving intact, from the Classical world, lying in over 2km of water, is something I would never have believed possible,' he said
'This will change our understanding of shipbuilding and seafaring in the ancient world.'"
Professor Jon Adams is a Professor of Archaeology at the University of Southampton.
