+== Hidden treasures: Spanish archaeologists discover trove of ancient shipwrecks in Bay of Gibraltar ==
+Researchers identify wrecks at the bottom of the sea from as far back as fifth century BC, from Europe and beyond
+Sam Jones - Wed 15 Apr 2026 04.00 EDT
+Spanish archaeologists exploring the bay that curves between the southern port of Algeciras and the Rock of Gibraltar have documented the wrecks of more than 30 ships that came to grief near the Pillars of Hercules between the fifth century BC and the second world war.
+Over the millennia, the bay, which sits at the north end of the strait of Gibraltar that separates Europe from Africa, has swallowed everything from Phoenician and Roman vessels to British, Spanish, Venetian and Dutch ships – as well as the odd aeroplane.
+A three-year project led by the University of Cádiz has now identified 151 archaeological sites in the bay, among them 134 shipwrecks. To date, the researchers and their colleagues from the University of Granada have worked to document 34 of those wrecks.

+== 143-Year-Old Shipwreck Emerges on a New Jersey Beach ==
+The unfortunate ship, along with its cargo of oranges, sank in 1890 while en route to New York City.
+Margherita Bassi - January 29, 2026
+Coastal erosion along a beach is not an unusual occurrence, especially over the winter. Wind and waves pummel the coastline, and—in the case of a beach in New Jersey—a historic treasure emerged from the sands.
+Namely, a part of a 143-year-old wooden sea vessel. Last week, Island Beach State Park posted photographs on social media that appear to feature timber remains studded with thick nails between the water and erosion line farther up the beach.
+“A nearly 136-year-old shipwreck has been uncovered at Island Beach State Park following weeks of beach erosion caused by rough surf and persistent wind and wave action,” the park wrote in the same Facebook post, identifying it as the wreck of the Lawrence N. McKenzie, a 98-foot (29-meter) schooner constructed in 1883. A schooner is a type of sailing ship with at least two masts.
