 Introduction
History
This was immediately acknowledged as a discovery of great historical import for several reasons, not least of which, for the number of archaeological finds present at the site.
There are at least 16 ancient ships, 9 of which are presently being recovered. This is an amazing discovery, because there are no other examples of ancient ships (1st century B.C - 4th century A.C.) so well preserved. Perhaps even more significantly, their cargo was found, including the most perishable goods such as ropes, rigging, fishing equipment, equipment for negotiating the canals, anchors made from stone, wood and iron, baskets and fishing pots.
These items do not usually survive centuries of burial, but the conditions of the ground in this location, in the absence of oxygen, managed to preserve even the most fragile objects. These finds are fundamental in order to improve our knowledge of the life and activities in Pisa in the Etruscan and Roman times.
Location
Whats to See
The Arsenals are a very important monument themselves, dating back to the 16th century and well worth a visit. They have been defined as an example of industrial architecture ante litteram, and were the heart of boat-building. The brick building lies at the edge of the historic centre on the side of the river opposite the beautiful old church of San Paolo a Ripa d'Arno, where, according to legend, the poet Pier delle Vigne committed suicide. It is a magical place in itself, and the Museum will add to the immense historical value of this area.
