ABSTRACT
In March 2001, The New York Times (Broad, 2001: F1) reported that a submerged robot, searching the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea off of the island of Cyprus, found the remains of an ancient Greek vessel. The research team identified it as a Hellenistic trader carrying a shipment of wine between Rhodes and Alexandria. They estimated that it sank 2,300 years ago in the era of Alexander the Great.
