A 2,500-year-old Phoenician shipwreck has been found underwater in the southeastern Spanish region of Murcia.
An extraordinary Phoenician shipwreck dating back 2,500 years has become the focal point of an ambitious rescue mission after being submerged in sediment for over two millennia. Spanish archaeologists are now working hard to recover the ancient shipwreck from the sea before a storm destroys it forever.
Named Mazarron II after the region where it was found, this remarkable archaeological discovery is considered a unique piece of ancient maritime engineering.
