The ship was found by famous French maritime archaeologists Anna and Jean-Pierre Joncheret. They have combed the bottom of the Mediterranean for decades.

Researchers have studied the wreckage of an ancient merchant ship that sank under the Mediterranean Sea for some 2,200 years. News Network Archeology writes about it.

It was learned that the remains had been damaged and stolen.

The ship was named Fort Royal 1. It sank off the coast of Cannes on the Cote d’Azur in the 2nd century BC.

Clay containers – amphoras were seen on the ship.

“Well-preserved wrecks from this period are very rare. That is why the opportunity to study the wooden hull and cargo is a fantastic opportunity not only for scientists, but also for people who want to enrich themselves at the expense of ancient artifacts, ”said marine archaeologists.

Recall that during excavations in the Gulf of Abu Kir, archaeologists discovered the remains of an ancient warship, as well as a large Greek cemetery from the beginning of the 4th century BC.
