The Marsala Ship is the oldest known warship wreck in existence and it was found in a harbor at Sicily, Italy. The discovery came about accidentally by a commercial dredging operation. A four-year excavation took place for historical reasons to save what was left of the ruins of the 2000 year old Punic warship. There were ancient artifacts found with the wreckage. The remains of the ship are displayed at the Archaeological Museum Baglio Anselmi specially built for it.
