FOURNI, Greece—Archaeologists have discovered at least 58 shipwrecks, many laden with antiquities, at an underwater ship graveyard in Greece, in what they say may be the largest concentration of ancient shipwrecks in the Aegean Sea and possibly the Mediterranean to date.
The wrecks are in the small island archipelago of Fournoi, in the eastern Aegean, and span a period from ancient Greece to the 20th century. Most date from the Greek, Roman, and Byzantine eras. Although shipwrecks can be seen together in the Aegean, until now, such a large grouping has never before been located.
