The Fiumicino 2 wreck was the first one found in 1958 during the work on the Leonardo da Vinci airport at Fiumicino (Rome) on the site of the ancient harbour basin built in 42 AD by the emperor Claudius.
The hull bottom of Fiumicino 2 is conserved from stern to stem for a length of 13,94 m and for a width of 4,5 m.
Contrary to Fiumicino 1, the structure of this wreck (planking and keel) seems not to have been repaired in ancient times, because of the homogeneity of the mortise-and-tenon joints with the pegged tenons.
