The researchers will try to answer a number of questions concerning wreckwhich rests at a depth of 19 metres at the mouth of Bays of Ajaccio. And it has to be said that the surveyed position of Sanguinaires C is extremely interesting.
As a result of the work so far, archaeologists have determined that Sanguinaires C, is the wreck of a 16th century merchant sailing vessel. The researchers described the type of ship as a “northern European” vessel, but their curiosity is aroused by the cargo. The objects found during earlier work come from Genoa.
The work on the Sanguinaires C site is being carried out by archaeologists from the Association for Underwater Archaeological Research(ARASM) and the Department of Underwater and Underwater Archaeological Research, Department of National Competence of the Ministry(DRASSM).The French Navy, which has joined the researchers as part of a long-term research programme, will additionally lend its support to the archaeologists.
Interestingly, the entire wreck is covered by a large stone mound 18m long, 12m wide and 2.80m high. The research so far has established that the ship is the remains of a solid oak vessel. The sailing ship was carrying a cargo of dolomite limestone, a set of Pisan and Ligurian pottery from the early 16th century.
