Castle of St. Peter

We are sailing to a new anchorage every day. Yesterday we went to a castle that was a lot bigger than the last one we went to. They think the Castle of St. Peter was built in the 1500 A.D.. In this castle there were thousands of pots, called amphoras and glass items that were found in a sunken ship that is the oldest ship they have found. The ship was sunk in 1400 B.C.. When they built ships long ago like in B.C. they made the water proof hull first then put in the frame and floorboards. The
castle had been attacked by the French 3 times in WWI and failed every time. In one of the hall ways they showed a picture of the castle before it was restore. The castle had holes in the wall and was broken all over. They restored it so beautifully that we could not tell it had been broken that badly. In another room there were a lot of glass bottles and dishes and things like that. All of them were found in the boat or around the boat. To get up the pots and glass they had to get divers
to take down bags and metal baskets. They put the pots in the baskets then tied the bags to the baskets and inflated them with air so they would float to the surface. If you have any questions or want to know more email me and I will send the email out to every body and also send out the what you wanted to know.
