During their expedition last year, they uncovered three previously unknown shipwrecks, including one dating back to the first century BC. These findings were announced at a UNESCO press conference, shedding new light on the region&#8217;s rich maritime history.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2023\/06\/08\/world\/unesco-skerki-bank-shipwrecks-scn\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">discoveries<\/a> were made by a team of 20 researchers who embarked on the Alfred Merlin research vessel equipped with advanced underwater imaging and mapping technology.

It rests approximately 213 feet deep and measures 50 feet long. The presence of amphoras suggests it may have carried wine, a common trade commodity during Roman and Greek times.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another shipwreck discovered is a wooden vessel that likely served as a fishing boat.
