[#CommuniquéDePresse] Pillage de l'épave "Fort Royal 1" au large de Cannes : les services de l'état se coordonnent pour la protéger —Préfecture maritime de la Méditerranée (@Premarmed) April 27, 2022
I just looked up "amphora" and learned this: "characteristic shape and size which fit tightly against each other in storage rooms and packages, tied together with rope and delivered by land or sea. "
I never thought about the nesting characteristics of that shape as a way to maximize transportation efficiency.
I would post a picture of the Katrina Looter guy, but I don’t have time.
Do they have any idea whose ship this was, Roman, Carthaginian, or Scandinavian?
Was this a trading ship on the tin trade route?
“for more than 2,000 years has been damaged and looted”
I should think teredo would have eaten them long since.
To borrow from the bard, ships have sunk and worms have eaten them...
