The underwater findings of sunken ships off the coast of Sicily make their worldwide important stories and history come alive. They tell of a Phoenician merchant ship more than 3,000 years old, of Punic, Roman, and Egyptian ships taking part in the Battle of the Aegates in 241 BCE, up to the times of a Byzantine merchant ship with a precious church interior.
