Click HereSpanish navy divers were on duty performing underwater archaeological surveys in Águilas over the weekend, when they were involved in the initiative to protect and document the archaeological heritage of the area of the Hornillo bay and managed to extract from the seabed two early 20th century containers related to the activity of the British steamships which were loaded with minerals at the historic jetty, or Embarcadero del Hornillo, and Roman ceramics dating from the 5th century.
The divers also explored the wreck of the Nido del Cuervo just off the headland of L’Aguilica, as the remains of the vessel are thought to be likely to attract the attention of looters. The sunken boat here dates from the 1st century and went down with a cargo of wine and lead ingots, but the navy team were able to report that the remains are safely covered with layers of sand, mud and Posidonia seagrass.
The Equipo Operativo de Buceo (EOB) also visited the western end of the headland of Cabo Cope, where a Greco-Italian urn has been found, but were unable to locate any ancient wreckage.
