1900年复活节期间,一群希腊海绵捕捞者由北非 近海的传统渔场返回罗得岛附近的家乡瑟梅岛,途中 忽然遭到风暴的袭击。他们被风吹得偏离了航线,后 来终于在克里特岛旁一个无人居住的小岛安蒂基西拉 觅得避风的场所。他们想捞些海绵,却惊奇地发现了 一艘大船的遗骸。他们向当局报告了这一发现,并于 11月同几位考古顾问一道返回安蒂基西拉。清理沉船 的工作一直延续到1901年9月。 从发掘出的物品中,他们找到了一些刻有希腊铭 文的青铜碎片。不久后,又发现了一些残片。至此,一 套完整的齿轮终于展现在人们面前,其中的几只齿轮 还带着文字。 During Easter 1900, a group of Greek sponges returned to the homeland of Koh Samui, near Rhode Island, from traditional fishing grounds off the North African coast, and were suddenly attacked by storms. They were blown off the course by the wind and eventually sheltered at Anchisira, an uninhabited island next to Crete. They wanted to get some sponges, but they were surprised to find the remains of a large ship. They reported the findings to the authorities and returned to Antiquityira in November with several archaeological consultants. The work of clearing the sunken ship lasted until September 1901. From the excavated items, they found some bronze fragments inscribed with Greek inscriptions. Shortly after, found some fragments. At this point, a complete set of gear finally appeared in front of people, some of which also with text gear.
