Cape Canaveral contains one of the greatest concentrations of colonial shipwrecks in the world, though the majority of them have never been found. In recent years, advances in radar, sonar, scuba diving, detection equipment, computers, and GPS have transformed the hunt. The naked eye might see a pile of rocks, centuries of concretions, crusts of coral, decayed and worm-eaten wood, oxidized metal—but technology can reveal the precious artifacts that lie hidden full fathom five on the ocean floor.

The discovery of a legendary, lost shipwreck in North America has pitted treasure hunters and archaeologists against each other, raising questions about who should control sunken riches.Tuesday January 14th, 2020 - 11:30 am
The Gagiana might be compared to a container ship today, Clausen Pedersen explains. But the vessel never reached its destination, Istanbul. Instead it sank in mysterious circumstances in the Adriatic Sea off the coast of modern-day Croatia. “The legend is that the captain sunk it and ran off with diamonds,” the curator says. Its high-value cargo was insured, and much of the paperwork survives in archives in Venice. “One set of diamonds is registered and another was apparently on board but not registered. That is part of the narrative,” she says.

The new find shows that the company Hobby Lobby — whose co-owner, Steve Green, helped found the Museum of the Bible in November 2017 in Washington, D.C. — had far more cuneiform tablets obtained (possibly illegally) from this city, and other sites in Iraq, in its possession than previously believed.

Archaeologists don't know the location of the 4,000-year-old city.A lot more things to worry about than that.
There were many things stolen during the war in Iraq.
Yes, from the Queens Palace In Iraq.

For centuries, scholars have discounted Christopher Columbus’ reports of a population of cannibals that raided other peoples in what are now The Bahamas and Hispaniola. New evidence suggests Columbus was right, and that he encountered the warlike Carib people, which he called “Caniba” (though it’s still not clear if they actually ate people).

Study: Columbus’ Caribbean ‘Cannibal’ Claims Were Correct
New evidence suggests one of Columbus' tall tales was actually true.Very cool read.
Huh? This interview says nothing about cannibalism. The title seems entirely unrelated to the content. Moreover, facial morphology is hardly a robust science and one wonders why they did not use dna analysis.

These famous wrecks include the legendary brig “Aris,” owned by Anastasios Tsamados, which saw service in Greece’s 1821 War of Independence and later was used as a training ship until it was ceremonially sunk with full honors off the island of Salamis, on the 100th anniversary of the Greek Revolution in 1921. The other shipwrecks which were investigated and mapped by the Greek Navy were the destroyers “Hydra” and “Vasilissa Olga” (Queen Olga).

The pirate Blackbeard is a real historical figure who wrecked his stolen flagship, the Queen Anne’s Revenge, off the coast of North Carolina in 1718. The pirate Captain Hook is a fictional character, the antagonist of the 1904 play Peter Pan. After arguments in a US Supreme Court case about video piracy, the two pirates’ tales merged into one fantastical reality for Frederick Allen, the petitioner.

Nautilus Productions, has for roughly 20 years documented Intersal’s efforts to recover the wreck as the salvage company works under a contract with North Carolina. North Carolina enacted a law in August 2015, however, that made photographs and videos of shipwrecks in the state’s custody, including those it got through its work with businesses, public record.

Our understanding of when people reached the Americas—and where they came from—is expanding dramatically. The emerging picture suggests that humans may have arrived in North America at least 20,000 years ago—some 5,000 years earlier than has been commonly believed. And new research raises the possibility of an intermediate settlement of hundreds or thousands of people who spread out over the wild lands stretching between North America and Asia.

In July of 1519, in a bold act that changed the course of history, Spanish conquistador, Hernán Cortés, ordered his men to sink all but one of the 11 ships they sailed from Cuba to what is now Mexico. The discovery of three 16th century anchors is providing valuable archaeological data to the team. The anchor discovered in 2018 measures just over 2 meters long and may represent a bower anchor. The anchor is buried fluke-down at an angle with its ring laid out as if it were still moored to a vessel. The two anchors located in 2019, however, are larger in size. The largest of the anchors was found approximately 300 meters north of the anchor discovered in 2018, and measures 3.68 meters in length. The third anchor, found only 100 meters to the north of the largest anchor, is the second largest in size measuring 2.60 meters in length.

The new Living Museum in the Sea is the wreck site of a Spanish merchant vessel, Nuestra Señora de Begoña, that went down in a storm in 1725 (while smuggling silver). Other underwater museums include Spanish galleons in Samana Bay to the north, and the wreck of Captain Kidd’s vessel, Quedagh Merchant, off the southern coast. The parks are set up—using a combination of real artifacts, period-correct items, and replicas—to look like a real wreck would appear underwater when it was discovered, with the wood long eaten away, for snorkelers and divers to explore. In some cases, it also helps scientists and officials preserve wreck sites in situ.

The trans-Atlantic slave trade trafficked more than 12.5 million Africans across the ocean. The divers are trying to unearth the stories of the ships that never made it to their destinations. Thousands of ships carrying enslaved people traveled between Africa, Europe and the Americas between 1515 and 1866. Only recently have researchers started compiling information about the ships that didn’t make it, said Paul Gardullo, director of the Center for the Study of Global Slavery at the National Museum of African American History and Culture. Research on shipwrecks has traditionally been about looking for warships.

An unused pair of snorkel hoses might have doomed the Confederate submarine H.L. Hunley, researchers said, after finding the vital equipment stowed in the ship. Without the connection, the crew couldn’t have lasted more than two hours submerged, until they just ran out of air. The two, 4½-foot-long snorkel tubes were discovered on the submarine hull during the ongoing restoration work. A smaller hose connecting them to a bellows, or air pump, had been disconnected but tucked under the crew bench.

The 110-foot-long ship and its cargo, discovered off the coast of the Greek island of Kefalonia, could reveal new information about the shipping routes taken by Roman traders across the Mediterranean. Its cargo is estimated at about 6,000 amphorae, a distinctive type of Roman pot with two handles and a narrow neck.
