Archaeologists excavating the famous ancient Greek shipwreck that yielded the Antikythera mechanism have recovered more than 50 items including an intact amphora; a large lead salvage ring; two lead anchor stocks (possibly indicating the ship’s bow); fragments of lead hull sheathing; and a small and finely formed lagynos (or table jug).

Hey, a little compassion, she broke up with me right after that.

I'd be surprised if the item was a one of a kind -- I also wouldn't be surprised to learn that it was actually being shipped as scrap, having stopped working, or having broken. Buuuuut, we're unlikely to ever know for sure.

[Defiant]

I always wanted to be a marine archaeologist.
