The Roman-era Antikythera shipwreck was originally discovered in the Aegean Sea by sponge divers over a century ago.
A new survey of an iconic ancient shipwreck off the coast of Greece has revealed new treasures — and the remains of a second sunken vessel — more than 2,000 years after it plunged to the bottom of the Aegean Sea.
Researchers said 'the most important find' in Area A was a previously unseen part of the ship's hull that combines important nautical features, including wooden planks and copper pins, which confirmed the exact orientation of the ancient ship. 'Through the ongoing comparative study of data, the question arises whether more than one ship sank during the same event in Antikythera,' the ministry said.
