Ναυάγιο Περιστέρας. Το μεγαλύτερο ναυάγιο του κλασσικού Πολιτισμού ανακαλύφθηκε από τον Κώστα Μαυρίκη στην Αλόννησο, στο δίαυλο με την Νήσο Περιστέρα, σχεδόν απέναντι από τον παραθαλάσσιο οικισμό της Αλοννήσου τη Στενή Βάλα.
Το πλοίο , που ήταν πιθανότατα Αθηναϊκό εμπορικό, βυθίστηκε σε βάθος περίπου 30 μέτρων γύρω στο 425 – 415 π.Χ.
Underwater Excavations of a Late Fifth Century Merchant Ship at Alonnesos, Greece
Abstract
The largest 5th century B.C. shipwreck yet known in the world was discovered recently off the island of Alonnesos in the Northern Sporades. The ship carried a cargo of wine, and sank some time in the last quarter of the 5th century B.C. in waters 30 m in depth. It was loaded with wine amphoras from the town of Mende on the Macedonian coast, as well as from the island of Skopelos, both places famous in antiquity for the quality of their wines, which were exported all over the Mediterranean and to the Black Sea. The ship also carried a large quantity of Athenian black glaze symposium tableware. Classical ships discovered previously in Greece, Cyprus, France, Italy, and Israël have not exceeded 17 m in length and 4 m in width. The Alonnesos shipwreck is at least 25 m in length and 10 m in width, and is significant because it provides the first archaeological evidence that cargo vessels over one hundred tons burden travelled the Mediterranean as early as the 5th century B.C. I. Historical Background
Πρόκεινται δε τών Μαγνητών νήσοι συχναϊ μεν οα S έν ονόματι Σκίαθός τε και Πεπάρηθος και Ίκός, 'Αλόννησος τε και Σκύρος, ομώνυμους έχουσαι πόλεις6.
The island of Alonnesos mentioned hère by Strabo was not the modem Alonnesos, but one of the two islands to the north, Pelagonisi or Agios Eustratios.7 Its only historical significance is that in the 5th c. B.C. it was part of the Athenian empire, and in 345 B.C.,
