Five Ancient Roman shipwrecks have been recovered off a small Mediterranean island with all of their cargo, including pots, olive oil, kitchen tools, and unidentified glass objects. The ships were submerged in 330 feet of water and were found by archaeological officials scanning in deeper water to look for deep water finds. The ships apparently sank without capsizing. The find also sheds light on the trade routes of Ancient Rome. The largest wreck measured 65 feet.

Shipwrecks are often our best source of artifacts... especially pottery and artwork.
