Archaeologists are currently studying the ship in its underwater grave and will decide what to do with it once their research is complete. There are no photos available at this time of the find.

Huh, a story well-suited to your handle.
Ever posted about Atlantis? (Yeah, I know, I'm not the first one to have asked that.)

According to Archaeology Magazine, the wreck belongs to a Greek ship, which carried ingots of a rare metal that Plato thought was mined in Atlantis". 🎶Way down below the ocean...she may be...

:^) That is indeed where my nick comes from.
My posts about Atlantis have tended toward the more general, such as, with glaciation been more the rule than exception over the past 2 million years, most human prehistory (and at one time, perhaps history) took place on what is now the continental shelf.
Seems like I had some comments specific to Plato's Timaeus and Critias in a topic not long ago...
Hmm, can't seem to find it.
Oh wait, this may be it:

They should be glad to be chained to an oar -- in earlier times they'd have been harnessed to the ship and had to swim to pull the vessel, incentivized by the sharks chasing them thanks to the occasional drops of blood left in the water at the stern of the ship.

The ship pictured is a Trireme, a warship
The article suggests that the ship found was a trade vessel

In those days if you were weaker then your potential customer you traded, if you were stronger a nice sack & pillage might be in order.
In those I doubt vessels were that specialized.

I’m not sure I buy it. Wouldn’t omit have been more efficient to have the slaves at the stern pushing the ship? That way they wouldn’t get tangled in the ropes.
