The Museum of Underwater Archaeology is in the Castle of St Peter (Sen Piyer Kalesi) and has a fine collection of shipwrecks and items from their cargos. In the main courtyard there is an exhibition of amphorae from different periods and areas. In the chapel you can see artefacts from a 7th century Byzantine shipwreck found near Yassiada. There is also a reconstruction of half the ship, which you can climb. In the Uluburun Wreck Hall you can see one of the oldest shipwrecks of the world (14th century BC) and finds from several Bronze Age Ships. And then there is the exhibition of the Glass Wreck. Entrance fee to the castle is 10 000 000 TL (July 2004). To see the exhibition of the Glass Wreck you have to pay another 4 000 000 TL.

Don’t be stingy but pay the extra entrance fee to see the exhibition of the Glass Wreck. It is very interesting! The ship, which was 16 metres long and 5 metres wide with a flat bottom, sank in 1075 (1025) outside Serce Harbour. The ship came from Syria and had a cargo of three tonnes of glass.

As you enter there is a video film about the salvage of the ship and the work to put the wreck and glass items together. How much work there must have been! There is glass of different colours and you will see plates, cups and bottles. Even if most of the glass was in pieces there were about 80 intact glass vessels including bottles and drinking glasses. Above the glass the cargo contained raisins (lower right corner of the picture) and sumac. Dried fruits and sumac were important Syrian exports.
