Louie da fly Posted March 12, 2022 Share #2 Posted March 12, 2022 Very interesting indeed. This was a period of great change politically, though not so much in ship construction. I note that " One particular shipwreck out of a total of 58 was selected as the most scientifically interesting due to its integrity" so I'm assuming a fair bit of the hull has survived. When the archaeological reports come out we'll probably find the hull remains are closely parallelled by the earlier wrecks from the Yenikapi finds, though if it turns out to be very different that would be even better.

mtaylor Posted March 12, 2022 Author Share #3 Posted March 12, 2022 There's a lot of other articles posted on this today. A quick Google in their news area should show them. I did look at some others, and they all seemed to be the same.
