Officials recently revealed the deepest wreckage of the ship in French waters, with a well -preserved shipment dating back to 500 years.
The results were announced by the Underwater and Permanent Research Ministry (DRASSM) in a Facebook post on June 11.
Officials said the ship was found by the French Navy unit during a military operation on March 4.
The wreckage of the ship, called Camart 4, was found off the coast of ramtulle, in southeast of France. It was found more than a mile and a half under the water.
“The ship's wreckage was unexpectedly discovered during an exploratory mission conducted as part of the ministerial strategy to master the sea bottom,” said Drams Post, which was translated from French into English.
“This newly found debris extends 30 meters high and 7 meters wide, indicating a large navigation unit.”
Officials believe that the ship dates back to the sixteenth century based on its shipment, which has survived significantly over the past five centuries.
Underwater images show a large number of handcrafted ceramics near the shattered ship. Historians believe that well -made artifacts originated from Legoria, Italy.
“The quality of the obtained images allows a detailed examination of these goods: about 200 visible police [glazed ceramic ware] “Aparks, with many of those trapped, apparently under the sediments, said Draim.
The archers are also prominently characterized by MrChantogram IHS, which symbolizes Jesus Christ, reflecting the huge role that Christianity played in early modern Europe.
“These spherical jugs with pirated yellow and tape holders, the model for the production of Ligurian in the sixteenth century, are decorated with Christ Monogram” IHS ” [and] “Many decorations have been identified,” Drams added.
“The shipment also includes about 100 paintings, and perhaps out of Legori also. Other elements are similar to the equipment on the plane: anchors, cannons, and two boilers,” the government agency continued.
“Several remains are hidden under the sand and will require more study.”
The statement indicated that no other marine cultural origins have been discovered in such depths in French waters, highlighting the unusual nature of discovery.
Darasm added: “The wreckage was not touched by the recovery efforts, and on this depth, it was preserved from the deterioration, including the looting.”
“This represents a unique research opportunity … [It’s] A noticeable discovery due to its unprecedented depth and nature and the opportunity it provides to study almost the sixteenth century. “
Ship debris has been found for centuries in European waters so far this year.
About the coast of Ireland, underwater archaeologists have recently found a ship of the eighteenth century, which is believed to be a long -term treasure ship.
