I hope the search continues. Every ship not now afloat, unless it was cut up for salvage at the breaker's dock, is on the sea floor, or its cargo is. The Black Sea probably has dozens of such down in the anoxia layer.

So we can deduct from the locale that the sailors on that boat likely died from lack of oxygen. Inability to breathe is a well-known property of Davy Jones's Locker, be it in the Black Sea or seas generally.

"...The cargo in jars will be long gone I'm sure, but it would be worthwhile to pull one (if there are any) and see what's inside, just water, or some residue of whatever it used to be (wine, olive oil, fish)...."Scientists ascertained the ingredients of an amphora from thousands of years ago and used it to recreate a beer not made since antiquity.
It's called Midas Touch, from Dogfish Head Ale Co.
And it's good!
