Shipwrecking

When scientists in the 1960s excavated the wreck of an ancient Greek merchant ship off the northern coast of Cyprus, what they found was an amazing time capsule from a pivotal period in the Mediterranean world following the death of Alexander the Great.

The press office of Prime Minister Ioannis Sarmas issued a statement on Friday regarding the fatal sinking of a fishing vessel which was carrying migrants.

Here follows the statement in its entirety:

Legend has it that the Bermuda Triangle in the West Atlantic is a region where many ships and even aircraft disappear. However, if you look at the data that insurance company Allianz has compiled other waters seem much more dangerous. Most shipwrecks since 2007 occurred in the Western Pacific south east of China.
