merchant ships, sunk in 1527 in the Bay of Saint-Florent (Upper-
Corsica, France) during the Seventh Italian War. A programme of
archaeological excavations and historical research has been held on
one of them, Mortella III, between 2010 and 2020. It has involved a
multidisciplinary team around a European research project called
ModernShip (Horizon 2020), whose objective is to shed light on
Mediterranean shipbuilding during the Renaissance, a field still little
known to this day.
At the end of these 10 years, the aim of the present article is to
conclude this research programme with the presentation of a
scientific review that complements a recently published monograph
on the Mortella III wreck. This study presents the latest results on the
ship's architecture obtained during the excavation of the wreck in
2019, including a study of the wood of the framework.
Finally, this article broadens our understanding of the nave presenting
the results of a collaborative line of research on material culture with
three studies in close connection with the ship architecture: artillery,
anchors and ceramics.

La construcción de la nueva terminal de contenedores del Puerto de Cádiz ha deparado el hallazgo de tres pecios. Los estudios de las fuentes documentales llevados a cabo sobre el naufragio conocido como Delta II, junto con la información aportada por la artillería que transportaba y el variado cargamento conservado, ha posibilitado tanto la identificación de los restos -como pertenecientes a la nave mercante genovesa San Giorgio y San Telmo, hundida por Francis Drake durante el ataque que llevó a cabo en la Bahía de Cádiz en el año 1587-, como su contribución en la formación de la Gran Armada que estaba organizando Felipe II en la ciudad de Lisboa. ABSTRACT: Construction work on the new container terminal at the Port of Cadiz as uncovered three shipwrecks. The documentary investigation carried out on the wreck known as Delta II, together with information derived from the ar...
