S.S. Jesmond and the Discovery Of Atlantis

No one knows where the location of the actual continent of Atlantis. The mysterious continent which was mentioned by Plato was submerged by the earthquake and is currently believed to be in the seabed.

However, in 1882, a merchant ship named the SS Jesmond find an island that seemed to have just emerged from the sea. The island is believed to be the remains of the civilization of Atlantis because of artifacts found on it.

On March 1, the 1,465-ton steam schooner was on a routine transatlantic voyage bound from France to New Orleans with a cargo of dried fruit, when David Amory Robson, Captain of the S.S. Jesmond observed “the singular appearance of the sea” some 200 miles southwest of Madeira. https://anomalien.com/s-s-jesmond-and-t ... -atlantis/

Although I don't believe this was the island of Atlantis that they found, I do believe they found some remains of a past civilization. But it does make you think of just how many past island civilizations that have been lost at sea.
