World War II Munitions Found on Seabed at Greece’s Thessaloniki Port

A seabed survey at the Greek port of Thessaloniki has uncovered hundreds of shells and other munitions dating back to World War II.

The discovery includes heavy bombs, adding a wartime hazard to work aimed at expanding the port.

The munitions must be removed before the expansion work can be completed. Their presence makes clearance of the affected seabed a necessary step in the project.

The find reveals a legacy of the war still lying beneath the waters of the port. No details were provided on a timetable for removal or how the clearance would be carried out.
