MOSCOW - A large ancient ship has been discovered at a depth of 82 meters on the bed of the Black Sea near Sevastopol, the press service of the Southern Military District has reported.

“The finding, dubbed unique already, was spotted by members of the Rostov-Dive deep-water exploration club which has quite a large number of important archaeological discoveries on its record. The most recent one was probably the most outstanding over the past 100 years,” the press service said in a statement received by Interfax on May 26.

It is a large Byzantine ship, up to 125 meters long that sank for unknown reasons.
