Some notes from the article, that it doesn't even make clear:

2,200 year-old shipwreck or destroyed by earthquakes nearly 1,200 years ago.

and ...

Heracleion was lost around 800AD due to flooding and earthquakes

So there was a 1,000 y.o. ship still floating in the Eastern Med 1,200 years ago? That should be the news here. Mankind can make really durable ships.

Not a single mention in the story about flooding - well, the fact that they were underwater MUST point to man-made global warming.

Well, it is The Daily Mail.

Heh, those may be two different events being described — the destruction of the Temple, then centuries later, the quake that caused the terrain to liquify and slide out into the Med.

The other (more likely) possibility is, the wreck was already there, minding its own business, when 1000 years later, the quake caused the city to fall in on top of it. :^)
