'Oldest Intact Shipwreck Known To Mankind' Found In Depths Of Black Sea

The Black Sea Maritime Archaeology Project says the intact shipwreck was discovered at a depth of more than one mile, where the scarcity of oxygen helped preserve the ancient vessel.

The vessel dates back 2,400 years to the days of ancient Greece. "This will change our understanding of shipbuilding and seafaring in the ancient world," says archaeologist Jon Adams.
