The construction of a marina in Mazarrón (Murcia) in the eighties, led
to significant changes in the dynamics of ocean currents that moved tons
of sand from the seabed, revealing a Phoenician ship. Recently an
ambitious intervention was made to check the condition of the wreck,
protected since its discovery with a robust metal enclosure which has
preserved it from the aggressions of the marine environment and from
pillage.
