A fact from Ma'agan Michael Ship appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 12 August 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that the 5th century BCE Ma'agan Michael Ship(pictured) shows no wear from recurrent use and no shipworm damage, leading its excavators to believe that it sank on its maiden voyage or not long afterward?

The "corrosive" power of seawater does not degrade wood: oxygen supports the organisms that do the work. The anoxic sediments preserved the wood. There should be something to this effect in the sources.--Wetman (talk) 16:47, 30 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
Fixed, thanks a lot. Bad science on my part. Poliocretes (talk) 18:37, 30 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

"Also located among the wreck were remnants of food, including grape, fig, olive and barley. These appear to originate in the eastern Mediterranean, most likely southwest Turkey and adjacent islands, and indicate that the ship sank during the summer.[2][4]"
I'd seriously question this. All foodstuffs mentioned are likely to have been in their dried (grape, fig and barley) and preserved (olives) forms in order to facilitate transport - they would have rotted during the journey otherwise. The posited summer shipwreck cannot be supported by their presence - it could have happened at any time of year if (as seems most likely) they were dried/preseved). 86.150.97.36 (talk) 12:35, 12 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
