Ancient Turkish shipwreck discovery

World's oldest known shipwreck found off Turkey

Archaeologists say the world's oldest known shipwreck has been discovered off Turkey's coast, dating back nearly 5,000 years to the Early Bronze Age. The vessel was carrying jars of olive oil, and clay analysis traces the storage jars to workshops across the Jordan Valley. One report says it may have been bound for the ancient city of Troy when it sank.
