Editor's Note
At the westernmost point of the Gulf of Antalya, off the southeast of the largest of the Beş Adalar (Five Islands), which are lined up toward the south of the cape now called Taşlık (formerly Gelidonya), a cargo ship sailing along the rocks struck them, began to spill its cargo, and soon settled stern-first onto an underwater rock. Discovered in 1954 by a sponge diver from Bodrum and lying at a depth of 26-28 meters, the wreck was determined during research dives in 1960 to date from the Late Bronze Age.
