At least eight people have drowned and more are missing after a boat carrying illegal migrants capsized while attempting to cross the Drina river from Serbia to Bosnia-Herzegovina. Serbia’s Interior Minister, Ivica Dacic, said police had received a call early Thursday morning from their counterparts in Bosnia and a citizen who had reported the accident.

They say Champagne gets better with age, but would you dare taste a bottle from the 19th-century? On a recent dive expedition, Polish technical divers stumbled upon a wreck that could easily have been mistaken for an old fishing boat.

Their curiosity paid off when they spent two hours exploring a well-preserved 19th-century sailing ship 190 feet deep in the Baltic Sea, uncovering a stash of vintage Champagne bottles stil...

A company drilling for natural gas off the coast of northern Israel unexpectedly discovered a 3,300-year-old ship and its cargo, one of the oldest known examples of a ship sailing far from land. The ship, dating back to the late Bronze Age, was found far from shore, indicating that the navigation abilities of ancient seafarers were far more advanced than previously thought because they could travel without a line of sight to land, the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) have said. Remarkably, the great depth at which the ship was found means it has been left undisturbed by waves, currents or fi...

Sydney (AFP) - The wreck of Captain James Cook's famed vessel the Endeavour has been found off the coast of the US state of Rhode Island, Australian researchers said Thursday. Their research partners in the United States, however, have described the announcement as premature. The Endeavour, which the British explorer sailed in an historic voyage to Australia and New Zealand between 1768 and 1771, was scuttled in Newport Harbour during the American War of Independence. For more than two centuries, it lay forgotten. "Since 1999, we have been investigating several 18th-century shipwrecks in a two...
