They found entire ships? What happened here? Was the harbor abandoned or was there some sort of catastrophe?

Dig for metro station uncovers long-lost port in Istanbul
Turkish Daily News
Thursday, June 22, 2006

They're calling the find the "Port of Theodosius," after the emperor of Rome and Byzantium who died in the year 395, and say the items they're digging up here could shed significant light on the commercial life of this ancient city. The excavations are being conducted in the Yenikapi area... So far, the archaeologists have found what they think might be a church, an old gate to the city and eight sunken ships, which archaeologist Cemal Pulak says he believes were all wiped out by a giant storm more than 1,000 years ago... Meanwhile, wall sections that are believed to be part of the Constantine Wall were unearthed in the western part of the excavation site, said Karamut. He added that underground graves dating to the fourth century were also unearthed in the same region.
