The original post may, or may not, come across as suggesting this is a new find. If you read it that they are new, be aware that these grain ships were discovered and published c.2004-2005. They were a stunning find, buried under 17m of silt. Two vessels date to the 1st century CE and had the piles of a later wharf driven through them. The third ship dates to the very beginning of the 3rd century CE.

This X account does have form in fake new finds which can be decades old.
