In October 2001, the INA team led by
George Bass conducted its annual shipwreck survey in Turkey.
Equipped with the submersible Carolyn and the tender Millawanda,
the team visited 12 wreck sites discovered on previous
surveys.
The team also found 14 previously unknown
ancient shipwrecks and 10 possible wrecks. |
