Bronze Age cargo off Türkiye may mark an early seagoing shipwreck

Smithsonian reports that archaeologists found more than 30 amphorae and three anchors near Türkiye's Kekova Island, dating the cargo to roughly 4,400–4,700 years ago. The wooden vessel is gone, and the claim that it is the world's oldest shipwreck remains a contender; its cargo and route are still being studied.
