GÖLCÜK BOAT

In Ödemiş, Izmir, architects Uğur Bengisu and his wife Rose Bengisu have discovered a wreck of a boat estimated to be 2600 years old in Gölcük Lake. The 4.5 meter long, 65 cm wide, 1 ton weight boat was brought to the Bodrum Underwater Archeology Museum. The curator of the museum Oguz Alpözen told the press on September 9th: " The oldest wreck known so far was from the year 1400 BC in Kaş. It was a merchant ship. The boat that has been found in Gölcük is the world's oldest fishing boat known so far. It is about 2600 years old and from the Lydian period. The boat was made out of carved chestnut trees."
