More than 2,000 years after sinking, a Roman ship has been found off the coast of Croatia. The vessel was found two meters deep, covered in the sand near the vacation town of Sukošan. Archaeologists in the Zadar River region say the ship dates back to the first century. The ship itself was around three meters wide with more of its depth still being discovered. It had suffered some shipworms, a marine-based mollusk that breaks through wooden surfaces. This archaeological discovery, made by the International Centre for Underwater Archaeology, was part of the group's work alongside the German Archaeological Institute and other global leaders in the industry.
