France’s deepest shipwreck found: 16th-century vessel discovered off Ramatuelle

Damn that boat must have been sinking for an obnoxiously long time.

Despite the well-preserved site, modern waste such as soda cans and yogurt containers were observed near the wreck, and this has already posed questions about sea pollution even at extreme depths. The researchers have thus considered incorporating environmental awareness and anti-pollution studies into their ongoing research and public outreach.

Sigh

Yeah, that’s not very typical. I’d like to make that point.
