It says the wreck was located 4-5m below sea level. Is this a silted-up harbor or was it an offshore construction site?

No wonder it sank! How would anything like that stay afloat?
Patch the bottom up and put some sides on it, maybe it’d work.

The ship was loaded with pickled fry (a type of small fish)

That could quite possibly be anchovies, which the ancient Greeks loved and were preserved with brines.
