Yassi Ada
Yassi Ada is an island off the coast of Bodrum, Turkey. This area of the Mediterranean Sea is prone to strong winds, making a safe journey around the island difficult. The island could be called a ships' graveyard, on account of the number of wrecked ships off its southeastern tip. Three wreck sites have been excavated under the direction of George Bass of Texas A&M University. The first to be studied using archaeological techniques was a 4th-century Byzantine wreck, the second a 7th-century Byzantine wreck, and the third a 16th-century Ottoman wreck. Bass received funding for a summer excavation at the site from the University Museum of the University of Pennsylvania and the National Geographic Society. ==Description==
Yassi Ada is an island situated between Turgutreis and the Greek island of Pserimo. It measures 200 metres by 150 metres, with an elevation of 11 metres.〔Bass 1982, p. 3〕 Approximately 200 metres southwest of the island is a dangerous reef that has caught many sailors unawares. The ruins of several vessels that crashed into the hidden reef can be found there,〔Bass 1982, p. 4〕 representing a range of periods and styles. Ship material is sometimes visible on top of the reef, since it rises three metres above the surface of the water.
