Construction Workers Discover ‘Skeleton’ of Medieval Ship

Construction workers excavating the site of a former fish market in Spain made a breathtaking discovery in the form of a medieval wooden ship.

The Barcelona Institute of Culture (ICUB) reported (via Euro News) that the ship was unearthed between April 10 and 15 in the Catalan capital at the site of what was formerly a fish market, making the ship’s final resting place a fitting one. The ship, named Ciutadella, dates back to the 15th and 16th centuries. The ICUB related the discovery to the city’s rich maritime history.
