最古老的完整沉没船只在黑海被发现。
 
 
A group of archaeologists and scientists belonging to the Black Sea Maritime Archaeology Project (Black Sea MAP) have said that they have found a ship on the sea floor which they have successfully radiocarbon dated to 400BC.
 
The group recorded images of the wreck using remote deep-water cameras.
 
Originally found in 2017, the group describes the ship as "a Greek trading vessel". Archaeologist Dragomir Garbov said its discovery provided a glimpse of "the last moment in the life of a ship".
 
The team has been led by the University of Southampton and the National Institute of Archaeology with Museum of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences.
 
A documentary chronicling the team's exploits was shown at the British Museum in London on Tuesday.
