Mediterranean Shipwreck

Caption

The exploration vessel "Nautilus", with a team of experts from the University of Haifa, discovered for the first time an area of reefs with deep-sea corals in the Mediterranean, offshore of Israel. In-depth research on the sea-bed samples are yet to get well under way, but additional discoveries that can already be reported from the Nautilus expedition are two shipwrecks -- probably modern boats that sunk over the past few decades.
