For all you history buffs, attached is a link to an article I saw this morning.

Ancient Egyptian pleasure boat found by archaeologists off Alexandria coast | Egypt | The Guardian

Quote fronm the article
"Although research into the wreck is still at an early stage, it promises to reveal new insights into “life, religion, luxury and pleasure on the waterways of early Roman Egypt”, Goddio said."

Hopefully more to follow. Unfortunately there is only a single picture of a diver at the wreck. Are any of you of greek orign able to decifer the graffiti?

Enjoy.
Rick
