A research team from Kyushu University has discovered a 40-meter-long structure on the seabed off the coast of Karatsu, Saga Prefecture, which is likely an iron ship. The site, located near Madarashima Island in the Genkai Sea, is known for its historical maritime traffic. The discovery, characterized by a strong magnetic response, was made at a depth of over 50 meters during a seabed survey. Associate Professor Masami Sanno of Kyushu University noted the unusual terrain, suggesting the presence of a sunken ship beneath the sandy bottom. Source: RKB
