Sunken Treasures
Sea voyages are much safer today than ever before in history, so it may be difficult for us to wrap our minds around how many ships have sunk in the course of human voyaging. Nevertheless, man has been traveling by ocean for thousands of years, and countless vessels have been lost at sea.

The treasure pictured here is from a voyage that sank underwater 3400 years ago! It was a merchant’s ship carrying goods to foreign lands, so many precious and valuable objects were on it. It was discovered off the coast of Turkey, and there are likely many other similar finds in the Meditteranean Sea. Does anybody feel like doing a little scuba diving?
