  • Ben Ballard and his colleagues explore the Eratosthenes seamount, an underwater plateau south of Cyprus, on expeditions supported by the Ocean Exploration Trust (OET). The team found two shipwrecks and 70 artefacts and they discovered a third shipwreck and 149 further artefacts. Eratosthenes seamount is an ideal preservation site because of its depth. Ballard says the Mediterranean seabed probably holds thousands of wrecks from the last few millennia.
