Shipwrecks found on the ocean floor are truly powerful discoveries for scientists. And historians looking for ways to delve into the depths of history and learn more about eras gone by. A ship’s treasure is not just a monetary treasure. It’s like a time capsule where you can get a glimpse of the past. Here are some of the recently discovered famous shipwreck that have captured the world’s attention.

Roman Shipwreck Discovered off the Coast of Albania 

This famous shipwreck was discovered by archaeologists somewhere near the port city of Vlore in August 2011. A few kilometers southwest of the capital Tirana. This particular find is a surprising addition to the list of world shipwrecks, and it delights historians. With the amazing wealth of information it provides. The ship is said to have approximately 300 unbroken wine bottles. Which were probably taken to Western markets when the ship sank. The discovery of this shipwreck is particularly exciting for historians. It is considering the date and depth of its discovery. Enough to consider her one of the most fascinating shipwrecks in the Mediterranean.

Lake Ontario Shipwreck 

Recently, in early July 2011, a Canadian schooner believed to be approximately 158 years old. Was discovered on the shores of Lake Ontario in New York. Reportedly, the ship was carrying approximately 480 tons of coal at the time of her last dive. It is believed that the cause of the famous shipwreck was a side leak. Which allowed water to seep in too quickly for the crew to prevent major damage. The first search for this ship began in 2009 but was interrupted due to technical problems. But when the shipwreck was finally discovered two years later, it had many stories to tell. When this ship finally met its end in the mid-19th century, she was almost half a century old. For archaeologists trying to unravel the secrets of ships of the time, this is a true shipwreck treasure.

Shipwrecks Near the English Channel 

In May 2008, the American treasure-hunting company Odyssey Marine Exploration discovered two shipwrecks near the English Channel. This amazing famous shipwreck is thought to have contained colonial artifacts as well as silver and gold coins that would be worth $500 million today. It was believed that the ship was on its way to bring back treasure from an expedition to Peru, but she was attacked by a British warship that was likely to be a target for plunder, leading to her sinking. Historians believe that this ship existed sometime in the 19th century. However, in the ensuing battle for the rightful rights to this shipwreck, many of the ship’s secrets have yet to be revealed.

Shipwreck Found on Lake Michigan 

One of the most notable shipwreck found in the past decade is her 60-foot-long one-masted sloop found on Lake Michigan. This particular shipwreck was discovered by the Michigan Shipwreck Research Association and was discovered by chance by an excavator investigating another plane crash in the same area. But when I stumbled upon this nautical wonder, I discovered the remains of a mid-18th century single-masted ship that had likely been underwater for more than 60 years. Despite the many years that have passed, the ship is in fairly good condition, meaning there is ample opportunity for researchers to learn more about the engineering marvel of its time.

Shipwrecks Found Near China’s Coast 

In December 2010, perhaps some of the world’s most amazing shipwrecks were discovered near the coast of China, where many similar locations have been discovered. These sites are thought to contain the remains of approximately 30 ships that sank at different times. All of the ships are believed to have been carrying vital supplies when they sank. These included goods such as silk, pottery, crafts, and pottery. The study was conducted sometime in 2008 as part of a project called 908, but its results were not published until 2010. Examining the wreckage of these ships can reveal common trade materials of the time, trade routes that existed exclusively for these ships, and valuables such as silk and artifacts that are also believed to have been stolen. More may be revealed about the deal. You can get a lot of information from these sites.

Ancient Roman Shipwreck 

Archaeologists discovered the wreck of a Roman ship in 2009 at a depth of about 150 meters in seawater somewhere near the coast of Italy. These ships reportedly carried items such as pottery, vases, and other cargo. The exact location of the ship’s wreckage is somewhere near a small island that belongs to the archipelago group between Rome and Naples. Most of the cargo carried by this ship is intact, providing archaeologists with ample material on which to base their discoveries.
