World's oldest intact shipwreck aged 2,400 yrs found in Black Sea
Archaeologists have claimed to find the world's oldest intact shipwreck at the bottom of the Black Sea, where it laid undisturbed for over 2,400 years. The 23-metre vessel, thought to be ancient Greek, was discovered over 1.6 km below the sea surface with its mast, rudders and rowing benches intact. Lack of oxygen at that depth preserved it, researchers said.
