HAVANA, Cuba (ACN): An old vessel that may date from the time of the
colonization of America has been found by Cuban fishermen off Villa
Clara province.
Over a dozen objects, among them a human rib attached to a cannon ball,
have been brought to the surface, reads an article in Juventud Rebelde
newspaper.
Several familiar objects such as nails and other iron items, and some
tools whose function has not yet been determined, were also found, said
Leonel Delgado, head of the provincial archaeology group.
All the objects first underwent a desalinization process to preserve
them, and are waiting to be examined by experts, who should be able to
determine the date of construction of the vessel and the conditions of
the sinking.
