Melbourne: A team of Australian and Turkish archaeologists has discovered what they've dubbed a 'museum under the sea' at Gallipoli. According to The Dominion Post, the find
includes the wreck of a barge that was used to carry injured and dead Australian
and New Zealand soldiers from Anzac Cove during the World War I Gallipoli campaign
in Turkey, reports The Daily Telegraph. A sonar survey also helped archaeologists
find the wreck of British destroyer HMS Lewis, along with shrapnel from lead bullets
fired by Turkish snipers at Anzac troops as they swam in the sea. The survey covered
the seabed near the beaches where Australian and New Zealand troops landed in
the 1915 campaign. |
