Recently a deep water survey team discovered a Greek merchant vessel that sank in 400 BC. The anaerobic waters have preserved the ship as it was when it sank, even the wooden hull. This shipwreck is the first intact Greek vessel ever discovered from an important era in Ancient History when the Greeks were expanding across the Mediterranean.
