CDR_Ret Posted September 24, 2022 Share #1 Posted September 24, 2022 This news item is being covered on several websites. The UK Daily Mail seems to have one of the more complete write-ups, though it doesn't provide much detail. Several videos on various sites include interviews with the divers. This piece claims that the wreck's contents upend the idea that after the Islamic conquest of the Middle East, basically all trade with Western Europe shut down. Not sure why that was the case. Traders always seem to ignore geopolitical differences. We see that even today.
