A Roman ship found off the coast of Spain

A Roman ship was found by accident in 2000. It is 100 meters long and weighs 400 tons. It is the largest Roman ship ever found in the Mediterranean. The ship is around two-thousand years old and sailed to Spain in the 1st century AD. Among the ship's cargo were jars of garum, a fish sauce that rich Romans fancied.

Carles De Juan, the co-director of the wreck's research team said, "I am not going to say it was on the beach but almost." The believed explanation is that the ship went down in storm while heading back from Cadiz in southern Spain to Rome. "Proper exploration" began in July, 2006.
