Canaanite shipwreck

Bronze Age shipwreck in the Mediterranean Sea

A Canaanite shipwreck dating from the Late Bronze Age was found in the eastern Mediterranean Sea in June 2024, 90 km (56 mi) off the shoreline of Israel. According to the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA), the ship belonged to ancient Canaanite merchants and was the oldest shipwreck to be discovered in deep water as of June 2024. The initial discovery was hundreds of amphoras dating to 1300 BCE—two of which were retrieved and, as of June 2024, were planned to be exhibited in the National Campus for the Archaeology of Israel in Jerusalem. The rest of the cargo has been left undisturbed and wooden remains of the ship have yet to be found.
