World's oldest shipwreck found off Turkey's coast, archaeologists say
Archaeologists in Turkey have dated the shipwreck to between 4,400 and 4,700 years old.
What the coverage shows
BBC News and Channel 4 News both lead with the same identification of the shipwreck as the world’s oldest and place it off the coast of Turkey. BBC News alone adds the archaeological estimate that it may be up to 4,700 years old and dates to the Early Bronze Age. Channel 4 News’ extract is more concise and does not add any extra framing beyond the headline claim.
