Why this card
Archaeologists announced the world's oldest known shipwreck, up to 4,700 years old, off the coast of Turkey. Ten years is a believable span for excavating and studying the wreck and building a working replica from what it teaches. The picture shows that outcome: the rebuilt boat sailing above the site where the original was found and studied.
