   Inside the Castle of St Peter is the Glass-Shipwreck exhibit. Discovered by a sponge diver in 1973 and excavated by Professor George Bass and a team of marine archaeologists, the 16m-long, 5m-wide ship sank in AD 1025 while carrying three tonnes of mainly broken glass between Fatimid Syria and the Black Sea.
