Ireland: While dredging for a wastewater treatment plant on the Cork coast, workers uncovered the previously undocumented wreck of a ship from the 16th or 17th century. While little is known of the ship just yet, marine archaeologists found that it carried an exotic load—seven coconuts, all stamped with an unknown mark. Found amid barrels and fragments of Seville olive jars, the coconuts might have been cargo from the Caribbean or North Africa.
