A new shipwreck was found in Viminacium. Two kilometers from the place where similar wrecks were found three years ago, archaeologists discovered another one this summer, which confirmed that a branch of the Danube flowed here.
The wreck was discovered while excavating tailings at the Drmno surface coal mine near Kostolac, near Viminacium. The ship was in the mud that naturally preserved it, and it probably sank to the bottom of the river.
It was confirmed that the ship was preserved with a length of 13 m, and that its width was 3,5 m. The stern with the central part of the ship was preserved, while the bow was damaged by the work of the excavator. Therefore, it can be assumed that the ship was over 20 m long. It had a flat bottom and sides, which are only partially preserved.

The remains of the found ship are very similar to the remains of the ship, monoxyl and boat that were found in 2020. What period the newly discovered ship belongs to will be known after detailed analyses.
The previous wooden vessels were also discovered by accident, during coal mining just a few days before the quarantine due to the corona virus epidemic. A 15-meter-long ship and several boats were found. At first, archaeologists were not sure from which period the vessels came from, because they were found several meters deeper than the surrounding Roman layers, but based on the remains of pottery in the ship, they concluded that some of them are Roman, and some of them come from the early Middle Ages (8-9 . century) and the early modern period (15-17th century).
This one, discovered this summer, will soon be moved, preserved, and presented in the future Museum of Ancient Ships being built as part of the Viminacium Archaeological Park.
