A shipwreck believed to be around 2,000 years old is reported to have been discovered off the coast of Sicily. CBS News says the find is described by the underwater fisherman who made it as the “most incredible” he has ever encountered.
Reports place the wreck near Mazara del Vallo, a town on the island’s western coast. The Daily Mail adds details about the vessel’s estimated size, describing it as about 69 feet long and 20 feet wide. While the two outlets describe the discovery and its age, they differ in the amount of physical characterization provided, with one emphasizing the fisherman’s reaction and the other including measurements and a more specific location.
Further assessment is not detailed in the provided accounts, including how the age is determined or whether any artifacts are recovered at this stage.
