Let Us Not Desecrate It - Poster

Many ships were sunk with loss of lives. Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions destroyed and submerged coastal settlements and entire cities, together with their inhabitants. Underwater archaeological sites are therefore significant, not only for their archaeological and historical contexts, but also for the respect and veneration that are due them as resting place of those who perished and who may be our ancestors.
