Phoenician shipwreck exhibition in Cartagena

PHOENICIAN WATCH: Until May 24 San Javier Phoenician shipwreck exhibition at the ARQVA museum in Cartagena. Fenicios, Mercaderes del Mar show some of the items found on board the Bajo de la Campana wreck which was found off the coast of La Manga (Murcia Today).

I'm sad to have just missed this exhibition at the National Museum of Subaquatic Archaeology in Cartagena, Spain.

On my recent trip to Cartagena, I did visit the museum. A few of the artifacts recovered from the seventh century BCE San Javier Bajo de la Campana shipwreck were on display. I commented on some of them here. But there are many more in this new exhibition.
