<h2>The Wonders of the Serçe Liman? Shipwreck</h2>
<p>The noted American maritime archaeologist, George F. Bass, regarded as the father of underwater archaeology, discovered the Serçe Liman?
shipwreck in 1977 on one of his routine dives. Noting at once that this was a major discovery, he and his team from the Institute of Nautical Archaeology (INA) began an arduous excavation campaign that went on for several years. The wreck was on the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, but somewhat close to the shore, and was partially preserved. Around 20% of the hull survived through the centuries, even though most of it was fragmented. Still, for underwater wooden remains, this is quite a good state of preservation.</p>
