A centuries-old shipwreck has been unearthed on the Caspian Sea coast. Archaeologists are studying the vessel to uncover its secrets.
The ship is about 92 feet long and 26 feet wide, and likely had three masts and a double hull. A historic shipwreck, long hidden beneath a sand dune, has been uncovered along the southern Caspian Sea coast in Mazandaran, Iran.
“Its emergence near the shoreline in an unexpected coastal location was attributed to wave action, resulting from rising sea levels, which eroded part of the sand covering the submerged ship,” the authors wrote. The excavation, carried out over two seasons, enabled researchers to document the ship’s design and hypothesize its origins. Through analysis of its construction and historical records, they concluded the vessel was built between the late 18th century and the mid-19th century.
