Andrew Johnson from The Independent reports that the discovered vessel off the coast of Sicily, which is believed to be 2,500 years old, will be partial reconstructed and preserved by team of experts at the Mary Rose Centre in Portsmouth. The program will last 10 years.
Andrew Johnson reports:
Archaeologists believe the craft was heading for Gela, then a Greek colony, when it was caught in a storm and sank with its cargo. Charles Barker, of the Mary Rose Centre, said: “It has an elm keel, an oak frame and pine planking. It is the most complete Greek trading vessel yet found.”
