    Worlds oldest intact shipwreck, 400 BC, with wood working

    Found in 2018 in the Black Sea this shipwreck is about 2,400 years old. The deep water is so cold with low oxygen that wood and stuff is not rotted. They can see wood joining methods only known from written materials. Interesting mix of trade goods from all over.

    Russia's submarine rescue ship.
    keel laid in 1912. commissioned 1915. current assignment retrieval of components
    of crusier Moskva--Black Sea. This is the same ocean they found the ancient Greek ship.
    The russians claim the special steel has not rusted on their 110 year old ship. They updated the original twin Diesel engines to modern 1954 models.
