Be kind of fun to be able to go down and view an ‘intact’ ancient shipwreck.

...the first century BC to the 5th through 7th centuries AD...

The height of the Roman Empire through the early Dark Ages/Italian city states. Hell of an interesting time period there.

There could be a lot of Falernian down in those amphorae. Shame to let it go to waste. :-))
