A journey to the depths of the Black Sea yields the greatest series of ancient shipwrecks ever discovered.

This documentary captures a series of astonishing discoveries made; a treasure trove of shipwrecks uniquely preserved that date back two and a half thousand years to the Greek and Roman empires, culminating in maritime archaeology's greatest ever wreck. A fully intact Roman wreck, perfectly preserved in the anoxic waters of the Black Sea.
