The shipwreck Museum is located on the territory of Kyrenia fortress that once protected the city from invaders. In this small Museum you can see the hull of an old sailing ship, which was discovered by the Americans in 1969 on the seabed just off the coast of Kyrenia at a depth of 30 meters. The ship was in remarkably good condition, despite the fact that he had been in the water for more than two millennia.

The ship was built around the beginning of the IV century BC, during the reign of Alexander the great, and had a length of about 15 meters. Scientists came to the conclusion that it sank in approximately 288-262, BC, poplava over a hundred years. The ship went down, according to historians, after the attack of pirates, both on Board were no remains of the crew, no valuable goods. All that was recovered from the wreck site, so it is a large number of amphorae filled with almonds, a variety of everyday items, such as Cutlery and millstones, which served as ship's ballast.

In addition to this 2300-year-old ancient ship, which is currently considered the most ancient in the world, the shipwreck Museum there are also pictures showing the process of research to the sinking of the ship and shows how he was raised to the surface.

Unfortunately, the Museum is desperately short of funding to ensure appropriate conditions for the storage of valuable exhibits. But despite all his problems, he is very popular among tourists.
