Ancient Roman Shipwrecks

Fascinating! Five, intact, Roman shipwrecks have been found of the coast of Italy. Remarkably, these ships sank without capsizing, leaving much of their cargo intact. The information that can be garnered from amphorae filled with wine, garum (a fish sauce that the Romans loved).


The ships were found off the coast of Italy, from Naples near a small island, Ventotene.
