An angler, in Inebolu, Turkey, when collected his fishing net, noticed in it a large wooden piece, approximately 3m.  By 60 centimeters.  Ashore, a closer look revealed that it was part of a canoe, made of chestnut tree.

The piece was sent to the General Directorate of Forests in Ankara, which then confirmed that the piece was a part of a canoe dating back to 3000 years ago.  The historic find will be sent to Israel, for a more detailed examination and is expected to shed light to the early civilization in The Black Sea.
