Cyprus: Wine-carrying vases salvaged from 2,350-year-old wreck

Marine archaeologists have salvaged ancient wine vases piled on the hull of a 2,350-year-old cargo ship lying on the seabed off Cyprus’ southern shore, the island’s Antiquities Department said today.

The vessel is one of only a few such commercial ships dating from the late Classical period (mid-4th century BC) to have been discovered so well-preserved.
