Pretty amazing if that’s the mast still in place on one of them. Very detailed woodwork on another, those are great pictures. It even looked like the sailcloth was still intact.

Outstanding. The speed and legs of these ROVs they could map the whole ocean floor, within a few years, given enough of them.

Interesting that after the Muslims gained control of Constantinople, the Black Sea was shut off from all trade for 400 years. More Muslim “progress.”

The article is incorrect. The Ottomans did not change Constantinople’s name. That was done by the Turkish Republic in the 20th Century.

All this technology, yet we can’t locate Amelia Earhart’s plane off Garner Island. At least most place it there, off the reef.

The other name for the Black Sea, the Euxine, goes back to the Ancient Greek name for the sea, Euxeinos, "hospitable," thought to be a euphemism because it was in fact dangerous to travel on. It may be that the name Euxeinos was folk-etymology of the Persian name for the sea, which labeled it the Black Sea. If so, the English name comes full circle.

So not surprising that there were a lot of ancient shipwrecks there.

great pics at site

Lake Superior is like that. It’s waters are anoxic as well and shipwrecks are amazingly preserved. Off of Isle Royale, there’s a shipwreck, the SS Kamloops, that sank in 1927. It sits in about 270 feet of water. In the engine room, there’s still a body, known to divers as “Whitey”, still very well preserved.

Wow!! What a great find.

[teeman8r]

woo hoo.

now we only need the ark to be discovered and that is the start of the end of the world.

How is it an “accident” if they were intentionally looking for something to be at the bottom of the sea?
