The idea came from a proposal of the Technological Educational Institute of Athens under the title, “Saving Wooden Shipwrecks in the Mediterranean Marine Ecosystem: Research, Development and Application of Innovative Methods of In Situ Protection” from the Department of Conservation of Antiquities and Works of Art Program (co-funded by the European Union, scientific coordinator Dr. Anastasia Pournou). The proposal was presented to the Central Archaeological Council, which approved its application.
