Two men called George Bass[edit]

The George Bass linked to isn't the same George Bass that excavated this wreck. User:134.84.99.143 18:05, 17 December 2005

"Author" note[edit]

Sorry about my lack of spelling comprehension, (I guess I couldn't spell Ulu Burun ...)... and I guess I couldn't see the word "Shipwreck" on the Special:Allpages/... and now there are 2 !.... at any rate, I wouldn't have spent the time making the page if I had seen the other one.( p.s., there was no reference to it at Bodrum -also thought it was related to "Cape Ulu Burun." I didn't check Allpages for Cape Ulu Burun.)M McAnnisMmcannis 04:28, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category of shipwrecks in the mediterranean sea[edit]

When the merge was suggested both this and Uluburun Shipwreck should have also, been put under the category of "Shipwrecks in the Mediterrean". Not everyone is up to speed on the way "Category" works. (Note of Jan 20th,2006)

Cargo[edit]

Read elsewhere that the copper cargo consisted of 354 oxhide and 121 breadform ingots. Can anybody verify this and perhaps update the cargo list? 85.178.118.34 (talk) 20:08, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oars[edit]

I removed the uncited reference to oars; There were no oars found on the Uluburun wreck. RyanCurtissLee (talk) 22:20, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Name?[edit]

Is there any info on the original name of the ship? And what is the meaning of "uluburun"? Yll (talk) 05:23, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The German Wikipedia version (which was recently featured over there as a good article) states that the name comes from the cape where the shipwreck was found.Mloafness (talk) 11:46, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Good article?[edit]

This article seems to me to be in pretty good shape right now. What do you think, good article?Dave (talk) 16:04, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Article name[edit]

Should the correct title for this article not be Ulu Burun shipwreck? That is what is used in the title of all the sources used. None use the contracted Uluburun. Gaia Octavia Agrippa^Talk 19:34, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Depth of the site[edit]

I don't see that the article states and states clearly the depth of the water where the vessel was found.17:15, 24 October 2018 (UTC)

Consulted?[edit]

Turkish sponge divers were often consulted by the Institute of Nautical Archaeology's (INA) survey team on how to identify ancient wrecks while diving for sponges.

Wouldn't it be more accurate to say that the divers were trained by the INA? 2601:281:CC80:5AE0:70B9:F1CF:5499:E945 (talk) 01:10, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
