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. <\/span><b>Source:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/newsdig.tbs.co.jp\/articles\/rkb\/1230755?display=1\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RKB<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-163856\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/fnn_iron-ship_2024_cl.jpg?resize=1400%2C788&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Possible Iron Ship Discovered in Genkai Sea by Kyushu University Team\" width=\"1400\" height=\"788\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/fnn_iron-ship_2024_cl.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/fnn_iron-ship_2024_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/fnn_iron-ship_2024_cl.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/fnn_iron-ship_2024_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu news and events in English.
