3D Model of the Kyreneia Wreck
The Kyreneia shipwreck, discovered off the northern coast of Cyprus in 1966, is one of the best-preserved Hellenistic-era ships in the eastern Mediterranean. The 14-meter ship sank around 295-285 BC and contained ceramics, food remnants, personal items, and tools, offering insights into life aboard.

In Past Mariners we created a 3D model of the Kyreneia shipwreck to provide a closer, more immersive look at this incredible archaeological find. With this interactive feature, you can explore the ship in great detail, rotating and zooming in to examine its reconstructed hull. This model allows visitors to experience the ship as it was over two millennia ago, enhancing understanding and engagement. By offering a virtual representation, we wsanted to make this significant historical discovery accessible to everyone, providing a richer, more personal connection to the past, no matter where you are in the world.
