Abstract. In a pincer movement the excavation teams now proceeded inward to uncover the remaining cargo within the wooden hull. As years went by, the residents of the Achaean Coasts built villages, cities and their history with their own sweat and blood, while during turbulent times they had to help Digenes defeat Charon, they escorted Regaena to her castles and enjoyed the results of their achievements and labour among the scents of the lemon trees and the carob trees. Furthermore, a The tracing of her voyage is yet unfinished; her home port remains unnamed. REF4251, Timbers coming out of PEG treatment (Photo: Susan Katzev). Katzev, M. 1981.

It was discovered by Greek-Cypriot diving instructor Andreas Cariolou in November 1965 during a storm. In TROPIS II, ed. The discovery of the ancient shipwreck of Kyrenia, as well as the scientific studies which followed and still continue to be conducted, created an important opportunity for the ancient naval architecture and navigation to be studied.

The choice was now before us whether to rebury the wood for the winter (as previously planned) or toraise it in the remaining weeks of calm weather. Stereo-mapping continued throughout the excavation for recording the find positions of the remaining amphoras, grain mill blocks, and smaller cabin objects. Hello! Belryan( talk) 14:44, 4 October 2007 (UTC) [ reply] Category Museums in Northern Cyprus [ edit] Turkish invasion this magnificent testimony of ancient shipbuilding is presently The excavation of this site revealed a very well-preserved assemblage containing amphorae from Chios, Samos, and Rhodes, a collection of personal items suggesting the presence of a captain and a crew of three on board at the time of loss and the remains of approximately 6070% of the original hull.

Already many of the archaeologists, students, photographers, and technicians in the creweventually to number over fortyhad assembled, and full-scale diving operations began. Despite carrying 380 amphorae which were basically of Rodhian type, in the end smaller numbers of seven types of vessels which served both the commercial activities of the ship, as well as the personal needs of the four-member crew, were raised. After conservation and reassembly, the hull of the Kyrenia ship is now on display in the Kyrenia Crusader Castle on Cyprus. The University Museums Carbon-14 analysis of the almonds points to a date of 288 +/- 62 B. C.; yet the same dating method indicates that the trees used for the ships planking were cut in 389 44 B.C.

Grid 4B (gap, under hull) All these bits of evidence suggest that the ship sailed southwards along the coast of. Early in the season small fragments of thin lead sheets with bronze tacks were also found, and later, larger sheets were uncovered, indicating that the Greek ship had been covered in a sheathing of lead to protect its hull against marine life.

The vessel is en route to NINGBO OPL, sailing at a speed of 14.0 knots and expected to arrive there on Dec 23, 08:00. Early in August it was clear that the hull could be entirely exposed and made ready for lifting by the middle of September. Oxford University Press, 2007. The challenge of building a seagoing hull capable of many years of service was, as the Kyrenia Ship demonstrates, ably answered by her designers. The results are being readied now for educational use, and will stand as a permanent record of the project. In addition, the fact that the spikes of spears were found stuck at the lower external part of vessels hull created the suspicion that it had sunk due to a pirate attack.

Many were the companies, individuals, and government agencies on Cyprus who contributed their help to the project. As a unique, handmade object approximately 14 m long built over two millennia ago, this wooden hull is exceptional, and it and its replicas have become emblematic of seafaring in the Mediterranean Sea during the Hellenistic era.
