Dont know what took them so long. 80 feet of water is a leisurely rec dive.
Thanks!
That's what caught my eye. How was this just discovered? Was something hiding it?
"The ship, estimated to be 100 feet long with a capacity for around 400 tons of cargo, is twice the size of most other Roman shipwrecks found in the Mediterranean, de Juan said in an interview with The Associated Press."
How can it be that ships this size never took a jaunt across the Atlantic, given 400 tons of cargo will keep a crew fed for quite a while?
