A Roman-era shipwreck on the Spanish Mediterranean island of Mallorca was carrying a cargo of highly prized fish sauce when it sank around 1,700 years ago, a new study finds.
The Ses Fontanelles wreck lies in shallow water a few hundred feet from the beach near Les Meravelles, a resort town about 4 miles (6 kilometers) southeast of Palma, the capital of Mallorca (also spelled Majorca), where it was discovered after a storm in 2019.
