GREEK ARCHAEOLOGICAL scuba-divers have recovered a variety of artefacts during the most recent excavation of British diplomat Lord Elgin’s ship the Mentor, which sank in the Aegean Sea in 1802.
Passenger belongings and parts of the rigging system were found during the excavation, which was carried out under the supervision of Dimitris Kourkoumelis of Greece’s Ephorate of Marine Antiquities from 4-21 September last year.
