The Uluburun Shipwreck
The Uluburun Shipwreck lies close to the eastern shores of Uluburun in the Mediterranean Sea. The wrecked ship is from another era in time; its origin was traced back to the late 14th Century BC, making it quite ancient.
The man who discovered the wreck is Mehmed Cakir, a local Yalikavak diver who found the wreck in 1982. Despite how ancient the ship is, its wreck site is surrounded by artifacts and the cargo it conveyed. Several copper slabs were discovered around the wreck after a formal expedition to explore the wreck site.
