Lost at Sea: Shipwrecks of the Ancient World, Lyman Allyn Art Museum (July 18, 2014 – February 1, 2015)

Driven by the desire to explore, trade, and conquer new lands, mariners of the ancient world sailed the waters of the Mediterranean, Aegean and Black Seas, spreading their cultures and their wares, laying the groundwork of Western civilization. Often these daring mariners never reached their destination, their ships falling victim to storms, pirates or warfare. They remained lost at sea until modern day explorer Robert Ballard, and his team of researchers aboard the E/V Nautilus, located them in deep waters using state-of-the art robotic technology. This exhibit explores the fascinating discovery of these ships and what we can learn about the people who sailed them. Glassware, tools, pottery and other beautifully preserved artifacts, along with stunning underwater video of their discovery, are among the highlights of the exhibit.
