In 2019, in the waters of the Greek island of Cases, the National Hellenic Research Foundation and the Greek Ministry of Culture began a study. The result of the work has been recent and in total ten traces of boats have been found at different times. The oldest is about 5,000 years old and the most recent is the Second World War.

These include Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman boats. Furthermore, in most cases remains of the cargo.

The work, which has lasted for four years, has taken over 20,000 photographs, which have taken a detailed picture of the history of navigating the Mediterranean.
