Turkish experts have discovered a ship, believed to have sunk at the end of the 19th century, in the Gulf of İzmir off the Çiğli district on the western Aegean coat, during a project aimed at improving water quality in the bay, Doğan News Agency reported on June 3.

A ceramic sculpture, which is said to be the biggest one in the history of Turkish underwater history, has been discovered off the coast of the Bozburun neighborhood in the western province of Muğla's Marmaris district.
 
The 2,700-year-old sculpture found during examinations in a ship wreckage, which was unearthed last year in November, belonged to a Cypriot goddess.
