In the year 1900, Captain Dimitrios Kontos and a team of sponge divers found the wreckage of the Point Glyphadiaon on Antikythera, an island in Greece. That same year, they helped the Hellenic Royal Navy on an expedition to recover artifacts from the shipwreck. Among the various recovered items were coins, jewelry, glassware, pottery and bronze and marble statues. But their most interesting discovery was the Antikythera Mechanism.
