Shipwreck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1292 words)
Many losses of sailing ships were caused by sailing, with a following wind, so far into a bay that the ship became trapped upwind of a lee shore, being unable to sail into the wind to leave the bay. An important factor in the condition of the wreck is the level of destruction at the time of the loss or shortly afterwards due to the nature of the loss, salvage or later demolition. Ship wrecks in shallow water near busy shipping lanes are often demolished to reduce the danger to other vessels.
Wrecks & shipfinds of the Mediterranean (1252 words)
The ship may have been 15-16 m long, and the cedar planks were joined by "mortise-and-tenon". The second ship was raised 1993-95 and may possibly be exhibited in a new museum. The shipping volume of Roman times was perhaps not reached again until the 16th or 17th century AD.
