Phoenicians may have visited Maine
Castine Maine UP I The two white or off white amphorae rested on the ocean floor near Castine for years before divers found them. Harvard professor Dr Berry Fell suggests Phoenician ships may have visited Maine centuries before Christ based on rock carvings on Monhegan Island and the jugs. Maine Maritime Academy's David Wyman details the jugs are two-handled with pointed bottoms about 12 to 13 inches high. Local divers reported possible ancient ship remains off Kittery while museum director Joan Hallett notes historic wrecks exist and awaits verification.
