9. The Bajo De La Campana
Estimated Current Value: Not Known Date of Disappearance: 2,700 Years Ago
Discovered in the 1950s
The term “Bajo de La Campana” does not refer to a single wreck but rather to a marine archeological site that houses the wrecks of four distinct boats. The most significant of these is a Phoenician warship thought to be longer than twenty meters. Its significance comes from the fact that it provides historical context for this country, known for its sea trade.

The remains of the luxury commodities that the ship is thought to have carried for commerce when it sank thousands of years ago were found nearby by the rescue team. These included things like tin ingots, elephant tusks, amber from the Baltic region, and ceramic vessels.
