The Maritime Archaeology Unit (MAU) is working at the Godawaya, documenting the oldest shipwreck site of the Indian Ocean. This wooden wreck dates back to the 2nd century BCE, a cargo ship, wrecked at southern Sri Lanka.
Research and fieldwork at Godawaya have begun. The 2000-year-old shipwreck is situated in Southern Sri Lanka, near the historical harbour site at the estuary of Walawe River. Hope to bring the latest news ASAP
