    The Greek vessel "B" of Terrasini 
    IV-III Century B.C.

.

The ancient ship known as the Terrasini B wreck was a small Greek (or probably Greek-Italic) trade vessel carrying a cargo of wine in amphorae of the Greek-Italic type (left) and of the Mana 3 Punic type, sunk near Mezza Praia (Terrasini) during IV-III Century B.C. 

.

L'antica nave nota come Relitto di Terrasini B era una piccola nave oneraria Greca (o pił probabilmente Greco Italica) che trasportava un carico di vino in anfore di tipo Greco-Italico (a sinistra) e di tipo Fenicio Mana 3, affondato presso Mezza Praia (Terrasini) tra il IV ed il III Secolo A.C.

Some amphorae were still sealed in the moment of the recovery. 
A small millstone was also recovered, together with fragments of the hull.

Alcune anfore sono state trovate ancora sigillate.
E' stata recuperata anche una piccola macina in pietra, insieme a frammenti dello scafo.
