拿破仑远征埃及的舰队,在阿布基尔海战中败于纳尔逊的英国舰队,几乎全军覆没。一百八十五年以后,1983年,法国的水下考古学者开始对当时的沉船进行探查,找到了拿破仑的旗舰“东方”号。现在探查仍在进行中,全部打捞工作尚需一两年方可结束。 Napoleon’s expedition to Egypt’s fleet defeated Nelson’s British fleet during the Abu Qal’a battle and was almost completely annihilated. One hundred and eighty-five years later, in 1983, French underwater archeologists began to probe the shipwreck and found Napoleon’s flagship “Orient”. It is still a year or two before the exploration is still under way and all the salvage work can be completed.
