The wreck of the Bou Ferrer de la Vila Joiosa: an extraordinary discovery

The Bou Ferrer shipwreck is a large Roman trading ship which sank off the Atlantic coast when travelling between Cádiz and Rome in the first century after Christ. It was discovered by accident in 1999, and since then there have been several scientific excavations, with surprising results. The boat was carrying 4,000 amphoras of fish sauce produced in Cádiz and a shipment of lead ingots from the mines of Sierra Morena.
