This reminds me of the old Hitchcock movie, Jamaica Inn, where the lighthouse was turned off with a decoy light in another spot to cause shipwrecks.

Jeb’s campaign may be down there as well.

The bottom must be littered with Freeper firearms.

I came in for coffee and saw the post, thank you. I went on Google Earth, to see where these islands were and noticed that there is no bridge across the Dardanelles Strait. At the narrowest, it's only a mile across! Without a bridge, it's a 250 miles by rail through Istanbul or it's a very expensive ferry or barge operation to get to the opposite bank.
Are they crazy?

Thats seriously impressive.
Just as a side thought: Think about how many things down with Davey Jones the USN has mapped fully over the years but remain classified because of unrelated issues (mission they were on/Depth/area etc.

“Fourni is the safest place that ships could stop in the area,”
With twenty two ship wrecks it does not sound like the safest. But then maybe that is 22 shipwrecks in 3000 years.
To: SunkenCiv; All
The
Fourni archipelago, [Click on map for full size image...]
is right in the passage between between the Greek islands of Samos and Ikaria (a great place to cause shipwrecks), and, is in a very historic region:
Fourni is just 20 miles north of the island of Patmos , where John, the Disciple was exiled when he wrote the book of Revelation.
And, Samos, of course, was the home of Pythagoras of Samos -- of right triangle hypotenuse fame...

Huh. I wonder if there was a local economy based on insurance scams.

Just from taking a close look on
Google Earth at the
Fournoi Archipelago, (with all its points, rocks, reefs, shallows, narrow passages, and extremely jagged shoreline) I'd be awfully surprised if, in only ten days, that expedition found a
quarter of the wrecks that are there.
Just envision the currents roaring through the pass between Ikaria and Samos -- and imagine the challenge of trying to miss all those Fournoi obstacles with a primitive sailing / rowed vessel!

Did they find the Greek economy down there too?
To: Jim 0216
That was my first thought.
