يقع حطام سفينة جزيرة سعدانة على بعد 5.3 کم جنوب الغردقة على ساحل البحر الأحمر المصري ويستقر الحطام عند سفح الشعاب المرجانية شمال جزر سعدانة على عمق يتراوح بين27 و45 مترا بين عامي 1995و 1998 تمت أعمال الحفائر على جزء من حطام سفينة جزيرة سعدانة من قبل المعهد الامريکي للآثار البحرية من خلال الحفائر، تم التوصل الى أن السفينة کانت بطول50مترًا وعرض 18 مترًا وقادرة على حمل900طن، وربما يرجع تاريخها إلى ستينيات القرن التاسع عشر ربما کانت سفينة سعدانة جزء من أسطول السفن التجارية التي تعمل داخل البحر الأحمر خلال الفترة العثمانية، وغرقت أثناء رحلتها شمالا في طريقها إلى السويس.
أسفرت الحفائر عن اکتشاف مجموعة من الخزف الصيني والتي تم تصنيعها لسوق الشرق الأوسط، وکميات کبيرة من عبوات المياه الخزفية، بالإضافة إلى مجموعة من البقايا العضوية مثل القهوة والفلفل والکزبرة واللبان. يوجد الآن أکثر من 3000 قطعة فنية محفوظة في معامل ترميم الإدارة المرکزية للآثار الغارقة بالاسکندرية.
ومع ذلک، لم يتم التنقيب الکامل عن حطام سفينة جزيرة سعدانة في تسعينات القرن الماضي، حيث تُرکت مئات القطع الأثرية تحت الماء، مما جعلها عرضة للنهب من قبل غطاسين رياضيين. علاوة على ذلک، لم يکن هيکل السفينة مسجلا بالکامل.
لذلک، في عام 2017، قام مرکز الإسکندرية للآثار البحرية والتراث الثقافي الغارق بإعادة زيارة موقع حطام سفينة سعدانة من أجل تقييم ظروفه الحالية ووضع خطة لإدارة الموقع. سوف يقوم هذا البحث بعرض الوضع الحالي لحطام سفينة جزيرة سعدانة وإمکانية مواصلة دراستها.
Abstract:
The Sadana Island shipwreck is located c.35km south of Hurghada along the Egyptian Red Sea coast. The wreck settles at the foot the reef north of the Sadana Islands at a depth between 27m and 45m. Between 1995 and 1998 the Sadana Island shipwreck was partially excavated by the Institute of Nautical Archaeology-Egypt (INA-Egypt). During the excavation it was realized that the ship was 50 meters long, 18 meters wide, and able to carry 900 tons, and it probably dates to the 1760s. The Sadana shipwreck was probably part of a fleet of merchant vessels that operated within the Red Sea during the Ottoman period, and it sank during its voyage northwards on its way to Suez.
The excavation resulted in the discovery of a cargo of Chinese Qing Dynasty porcelain manufactured for the Middle Eastern market, large quantities of ceramic water jars, in addition to an array of organic remains such as coffee, pepper, coriander, cardamom and frankincense. More than 3,000 excavated artefacts are now in the Alexandria Conservation Laboratory for Submerged Antiquities.
However, the Sadana Island shipwreck was not fully excavated in the 90s as hundreds of artifacts were left underwater, which made it subject to looting by sport divers. Moreover, the ship's hull was not fully planned Therefore, in 2017 the Alexandria Centre for Maritime Archaeology and Underwater Cultural Heritage revisited the site of the Sadana Shipwreck in order to assess its present conditions and develop a plan of the site' management. This paper will be looking at the current situation of the Sadana Island Shipwreck and the potentials for its further study.
