8. PAVLOPETRI
At the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea south of modern-day Greece lies the sunken city of Pavlopetri. Archaeologists believe that the once-bustling port, which is now four meters (13.1 feet) underwater, is the oldest submerged ancient city found to date, with origins dating back some 5,000 years.

7. NEAPOLIS
The ancient city of Neapolis was founded on the northeastern Tunisian coast during the fifth century BC. It changed hands several times between warring factions and eventually became a major Roman port.

6. LAKE VAN CASTLE
In 2016, a team of divers led by underwater photographer Tahsin Ceylan discovered a fortress at the bottom of Turkey’s largest waterbody, Lake Van, near the harbor of a centuries-old town called Adilcevaz.

5. THE TEMPLES OF MAHABALIPURAM
Located in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu, the ancient city of Mahabalipuram is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its archaeological marvels. Between the third and ninth centuries AD, Mahabalipuram was part of the Pallava Dynasty.

4. PORT ROYAL
In 1655, the English conquered Jamaica from the Spanish. They established the unofficial capital of Port Royal on the southeast coast, at the mouth of Kingston Harbor. To ensure its defense, in 1657, Governor Edward D’Oyley permitted a group of privateers to take up headquarters at Port Royal.

3. CUBA’S SUNKEN CITY
In the roughly 200,000 years since humans emerged into existence, the sea level has never fallen below 120 meters (395 feet). However, in 2000, ocean engineer Paulina Zelitsky and her husband, Paul Weinzweig, discovered unusual structures 2,300 feet (700 meters) beneath the water’s surface south of Cuba’s western tip.

2. DUNWICH
The small village of Dunwich is located near England’s east coast between Walberwick and Southwold in Suffolk County. Dunwich was England’s tenth-largest town during the 11th century, with its population peaking around 3,000 residents.

1. BAIAE
The partially-sunken ancient Roman resort town of Baiae can be found 16 kilometers (10 miles) off the coast of Naples, Italy. Baiae, which was once located over natural volcanic vents, was a place for the Roman elite.

10. Captain Kidd’s Treasure
Captain Kidd once hunted pirates for a living, but turned to the dark side in the late 1600s… attacking merchant vessels in the Caribbean and reaching as far as Madagascar. He returned to America, though, and was arrested, sent back to England, and hanged for his crimes in 1701.

9. A Skeleton
In 2015, council workers were carrying out survey work to prepare for building an extension to a primary school in Edinburgh when they made a gruesome discovery… what is believed to be the corpse of a pirate. The bones have been tested and found to have been from a man in his 50’s who lived during the 16th or 17th century.

8. Underground Smuggling Network
Cornwall, in the south-west of England, was a popular place for pirates and smugglers to bring their ill-gotten gains ashore. In 2008 a crew of builders working on the renovation of a waterfront warehouse in the town of Penzance found two escape hatches that led underground. Good name right, get it, pirates of Penzance. The 2-foot square holes have access to two tunnels that stretched beneath the roads to a local pub about 300 yards away.

7. Maps
When you think of pirates plundering treasure, the first things that springs to mind are chests full of gold and jewels, but they weren’t necessarily the most valuable things in their minds. Bartholomew Sharpe was an influential pirate from 1680, who traveled with his 300 men to Panama, where they captured a Spanish ship, the Trinity, and raided Spanish ships along the Pacific coastline of central and South America.

6. The Schiedam
With some pirates living more than 350 years ago, many artifacts that found their way to the seabed have now been covered over, but a storm in 2018 disrupted the sands around Cornwall and led to an amazing discovery. Divers spotted objects, such as hand grenades and cannons, which had come from the wreck of the Schiedam- a ship that had sunk off the Cornish coast in 1684.

5. The Pirate Executions of 1718
It’s well known that when the authorities were able to catch pirates, they usually made an example of them… but documents have been found that survive from 1718 that show that year was a particularly brutal one. Stede Bonnet was a famed pirate of the time, having been involved in the siege of Charleston, South Carolina alongside Blackbeard.

4. Visiting Japan
Pirates operated across the world, and recent evidence came to light that showed the first Australian ship to venture into Japanese waters was run by a crew of pirates escaping from Tasmania. There had long been a tale of a ship of convicts venturing into feudal Japan, which at the time was isolated from the rest of the world, but most had dismissed it as nothing more than legend.

3. Mass Burial
‘Black Sam” Bellamy was thought to have been the richest pirate ever, but all trace of him and his crew vanished following the wrecking of their ship, the Whydah Gally, off the coast of Cape Cod in 1717. They had amassed a fortune worth around 120 million dollars in today's currency, but it was only in 2018 that researchers discovered what had happened to them.

2. The Queen Anne’s Revenge
The most famous pirate of all time, Blackbeard, was notorious for his brutality, the burning gunpowder in his beard, and his surprisingly educated demeanor. He and his crew terrorized the waters of North Carolina with their ship ‘The Queen Anne's Revenge'. Perhaps his most famous act was the siege of Charleston in 1718, where the city was held hostage for several weeks while he demanded food, money, and supplies…

1. The Sunken Pirate City
By the late 1600s, the natural harbor at Port Royal had become the center of the English presence in Jamaica. It was the second largest European city in the new world, and soon became the notorious home of pirates and criminals. This soon became a dangerous place full of debauchery, and was once described as ‘the most wicked and sinful city in the world'.
