Remains of ship carrying Indian spices that sank 400 yrs ago found
Archaeologists have found a 400-year-old shipwreck off the coast of Portugal, believed to have sunk between 1575 and 1625 while returning from India carrying Indian spices. Divers found spices, bronze cannons, Chinese ceramics and cowry shells, a type of currency, 40 feet below the surface. "From a heritage perspective, this is the discovery of the decade," the project's director said.
