A shipwreck believed to be connected to the Greek War of Independence in 1821-1829 was discovered off the coast of Halkidiki, northern Greece.
In its wooden hull two cannons and a one-and-a-half-meter-long rifle, called kariofili which was widely used by Greek revolutionaries, were also discovered.
The shipwreck is about 80 meters from the shore of the village of Furka and at a depth of four meters. The ship’s wooden hull is estimated to be 25 meters long and eight wide.
