The Uluburun shipwreck, dating to the late 14th century BC, is one of the oldest and richest wrecks ever found. Artifacts recovered from the site are displayed at the Bodrum Museum of Underwater Archaeology, offering a fascinating look at Bronze Age trade. Visitors can see copper and tin ingots, Canaanite jars, gold jewelry, and personal items that reveal the ship's cargo and crew's daily life. The exhibition highlights the ship's route and the interconnectedness of ancient Mediterranean civilizations.
