Antikythera Wreck

There was a ship that got wrecked and sank to the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea 2,000 years ago.  And now, a group of scientists have traveled to Antikythera, Greece to send down a yellow sea vessel to take pictures of it for the first time.

This shipwreck seems to have a really interesting history.  Before these researchers went down and took these pictures of the ship a few weeks ago, no one knew what it looked like and if they did, they were dead.  It must have been strenuous, but worth it, for the divers in 1900 who brought up some of the treasures from the ship, as well as the "Antikythera Mechanism."

The Exosuit looks pretty cool.  I would wear it.
