Scientists find shipwrecks. They are at the bottom of the Black Sea. The ships are around 2,400 years old. One of them is a trading ship.
The ships are in very deep water. There is no oxygen there. Due to this, the ships still look good.

Scientists found ancient shipwrecks at the bottom of the Black Sea off of Bulgaria, and they believe that one of the wrecks is 2,400 years old and was a Greek trading vessel.
The shipwrecks were in such deep water that there is no oxygen, and this means they are very well-preserved. This is the first time people can have a look at ships this old. Before, we could only see them in books or in paintings.

سطح سوم - آیلتس 7+ ( C1 - C2)
People found a never-before-seen shipwreck off the coast of Bulgaria in the Black Sea. Scientists believe that one of the wrecks is a 2,400-year-old Greek trading vessel.
Edward Price from the Black Sea Maritime Archaeology Project said that there are ships at the bottom of the ocean that people have never seen; we have only seen them in paintings, murals and books.
The oxygen-free environment means that the wrecks are extremely well preserved, and the recent findings led to their own documentary project at the British Museum.
