Some notes from the article, that it doesn't even make clear:

2,200 year-old shipwreck or destroyed by earthquakes nearly 1,200 years ago.

and ...

Heracleion was lost around 800AD due to flooding and earthquakes

So there was a 1,000 y.o. ship still floating in the Eastern Med 1,200 years ago? That should be the news here. Mankind can make really durable ships.

Not a single mention in the story about flooding - well, the fact that they were underwater MUST point to man-made global warming.

Well, it is The Daily Mail.

The city of Heracleion, was one of the most important trade centers in the Mediterranean area. Before Alexandria was founded by Alexander the Great in 331, Thônis-Heracleion was the largest port city in Egypt. 

Interesting history, even if written by dunces.
