The 23-metre (75ft) vessel, thought to be ancient Greek, was discovered with its mast, rudders and rowing benches all present and correct just over a mile below the surface. A lack of oxygen at that depth preserved it, the researchers said.
The same kind of boat as on this Greek pottery.
Next, they need to find a Viking Longboat.  There's gotta be one or two down there somewhere.

  1. It is interesting that there are divers investigating at over a mile down. I didn't know they could go that deep.

  2. That pottery is fascinating! It shows part of Homer's "Ulysses" where Ulysses is tied to the mast of his ship, while his shipmates have their ears blocked with wax so that they can't hear the Siren's song, calling them to their doom.

    Can't be Ulysses's ship though, he made it home!
