    Default 2,400 year Old Greek Shipwreck

    Using a remotely controlled submersible archaeologists have discovered the world's oldest intact shipwreck at the bottom of the Black Sea. It is of an ancient Greek cargo vessel. It is so well preserved that even some of the rope has survived. However, they fear that it is too fragile to raise intact using current technology.

    Impressive Dave.
    I'm surprised that nobody else has commented yet.
    Just think if they can find any 17th/18th cent. wrecks in that good a condition and manage to raise them.

    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
