Roman Period Anse de Laurons 2 Sailboat

was the shipwreck of a small Roman-period galleon, dated to the end of the 3rd century AD, probably sunk in a storm, and was at anchor for refuge in the shallow port of Laurons, west of modern-day Marseille, France. It is about 15 meters long and has an estimated displacement of about 30 tons. It may only trade between small ports on the local coast. When the ship was sunk, its left side was quickly covered with sediment, ensuring an excellent state of preservation down to the deck and even the railing. There are preserved rigging elements, spare rudders, and fragments of wooden panels that may cover the cargo hold, as well as rarely preserved structures used to support the side rudders. This reconstruction is based on the plans of R.Bockius
