Gela Shipwreck Update

We last heard of this last summer, when some piece from the shipwreck were being moved to the facility at Portsmouth to be restored. Now we seem to be getting brief notices that the restoration process has actually begun.

Charles Barker (of the Mary Rose Centre) dixit:

It has an elm keel, an oak frame and pine planking. It is the most complete Greek trading vessel yet found.
