For centuries, the Strait of Sicily has been a vital passageway for trade, travel, and maritime transportation in the Mediterranean Sea.
It’s also home to a shipwreck graveyard.
In a shallow, rocky region called the Skerki Bank, archaeologists have found the remains of ships dating back to the Roman Empire.
