Abstract

This article focuses on the study of a wreck found in Debeljak
Cove, Premantura Promontory in the region of Istria and which
was the object of research from 2017 to 2019. The wreck is
located in shallow water, lying flat and highly fragmented on the
seabed. The study of the remains has led to hypotheses about its
construction concept and processes, though it has not been possible
to locate its origin and construction site. It was a sailing ship,
15 to 17 m long, used for trade, probably on a regional level.
