The shipwreck site at the islet of Gnalić was officially discovered in 1967. Among the many who deserve credit for the first investigations and salvaging of valuable finds at the end of the 1960s and early 1970s, the most noteworthy names are Ksenija Radulić, Sofija and Ivo Petricioli, Božidar Vilhar and Grga Oštrić. All of them, and many others, deserve thanks for saving the site from being forever forgotten and thoroughly looted. Three decades later, an international group of experts led by Mitja Guštin used the example of glass finds to reignite interest in the ship’s cargo and underscore the site’s research potential. After many years of effort, in 2012 the University of Zadar once more launched research thanks to support from many Croatian and foreign institutions.
