When it was announced on April 24th the discovery of the side of a boat that had sunk between the 15th and 16th centuries At the former Mercat del Peix and future BSM parking lot in the Ciutadella district of Barcelona, ​​archaeologists have already explained that they would continue searching for more remains. The investigation has been fruitful. So far, they have found a keel (the part of the lower structure on which a ship is built). This piece is 3.43 meters long and could be a dismembered part of the ship found (the so-called Citadel I) or correspond to a second ship. We won't have the answer for at least six months, because a stratigraphic study must be carried out and the materials analyzed. All of this can help explain one of the most fascinating aspects of Barcelona's history: its relationship with the sea.

The Suez Canal has temporarily suspended all traffic while it still tries to free the ship Ever Given which has been stranded in the middle of the canal for three days after losing power in the middle of a storm on Tuesday morning. Although the canal authorities were confident on Wednesday that they would be able to remove the ship and open the passage that same day, the ship remains aground and small tugboats are trying unsuccessfully to move it.
