The
Greek vessel of Gela
The
ancient Ship of Gela was an
arcaic Greek trade vessel, sunk near Gela at the beginning of the fifth Century B.C.
She testifies the presence of Greek settlements in Sicily 2500 years ago. L'
antica Nave di Gela era una nave commerciale Greca dell' Età
Arcaica, affondata presso Gela all'inizio del Quinto Secolo A.C. Questo
relitto testimonia la presenza di insediamenti Greci nella Sicilia di 2500
anni fa. The
construction technique is extremely interesting: all the parts of the hull
are jointd just by crossing vegetal ropes, and a layer of resin was
spreaded on the inner part of the planking. La
tecnica costruttiva è estremamente interessante: tutte le parti dello
scafo sono mantenute unite esclusivamente da legature incrociate di corde
vegetali, ed uno strato di resina era stato spalmato all'interno del
fasciame. The hull was 18m
long and lies at a depth of -5m, 500m from the coast. At the end of the
excavation campaign, the remains of the hull have been covered by sand and
concrete slabs to protect it from waves and thievs Lo
scafo era lungo 18m, e giace ad una profondità di -5m, a 500m dalla
costa. . |
