Wood samples of the frame, hull planking, and peg fasteners from a Roman ship sunk in the first cen,turv B. C. have been identified as elm, pitch pine and live or evergreen oak by the U. S. Forest Service's Forest Products Laboratory. Use of these species suggests that the vessel was built along the north shore of the Mediterranean. The ship was found off the coast of the Greek island of Antikythera, a onetime pirate retreat.
