A Mameluke vessel from the beginning of the 15^th century AD was recovered off the Megadim coast. Its cargo included a huge hoard of bronze coins held in wicker baskets (totaling 350 kg), and hundreds of bronze artifacts originating from a mosque. The bronze artifacts consisted of decorated lighting devices (candle sticks, lamp stamps, bowls for collecting wax, fittings for suspension); mortars and pestles, door decorations, wooden box ornament fittings, bowls and domestic utensils. In addition, five hoards of iron fittings and nails (weighing ca. 400 kg each) were recorded, as well as some scanty remains of the wooden hull. Most of the coins had been minted by the Mameluke sultans Farage and Barkuk in eastern Anatolia and northern Syria. The provenance of the ship could have been from the northern part of the eastern Mediterranean coast.  The ship most probably sailed from the northern Levantine coasts to Alexandria with a metal cargo and was wrecked off the Carmel coast.
