The Orca Shipwreck is a shipwreck dating from the Late Bronze Age found in deep water in the eastern Mediterranean, 90 km (56 mi) off the shoreline of Israel. Believed to belong to ancient Canaanite merchants, the ship is considered the earliest deep-sea shipwreck to be discovered. The findings are hundreds of amphoras, dating to 1,300 BCE, two of which are planned to be exhibited in the National Campus for the Archaeology of Israel in Jerusalem.[1][2][3]
