Shipwrecks of the Black Sea

The Black Sea has been a significant route for maritime activity for thousands of years, and numerous ships have wrecked there due to storms, navigation errors, or wartime conflicts. Many shipwrecks are well-preserved because of the Black Sea’s low oxygen levels, which slow decay. These submerged vessels provide valuable archaeological insights into ancient civilizations, trade, and history. Today, discoveries of Black Sea shipwrecks help researchers understand historical maritime routes, technological development, and cultural exchanges across regions bordering the sea.
