The fishing boat “Panagia M” on Thursday found 21 ancient amphorae while fishing in waters northwest of Mourtzouflos cape on the Greek island of Limnos.
The finds were of various sizes, ranging in height from 15 to 80 cm. The fishing boat’s captain handed the amphorae over to the Myrina harbour authority, where the fishing boat is registered.
Along with one more amphora found by the captain of another fishing boat, “P.G. Psarros”, in the seas west of Limnos, the finds were handed over to the island’s cultural ministry services.
