Post by Artur Meçollari

KUR SHTRËMBËRON HISTORINË NË HARVARD Ky Tarja eshte humor fare. Mire qe nuk e shpjegon dot, po mos e shtrembero historine..Z. Tare nuk ka asnje studim apo hulumtim lidhur me kete teme. Libri im eshte botuar ne shkurt 2009, mbas pese vjet hulumtimesh, kurse zbulimi i bashit te Volage nga anija Herkules eshte bere ne gusht 2009 dhe publikuar ne nentor 2009. Në gusht të vitit 2009 kam takuar profesor Delgado ne Vlore, ne prezence te Dr. Adrian Anastasi, i cili me tha se kishin gjetur nje objekt ne afer koordinatave qe kisha publikuar une per pozicionin e renies se Volage ne mine. I fala dhe nje kopje te librit. Profesor Delgado thote te verteten e Incidentit te Kanalit te Korfuzit e ka zbuluar Artur Mecollari, ky thote e ka zbuluar Delgado (Instituti Amerikan i Arkeologjise Detare) https://lnkd.in/eWC7KkwC Nearly seven decades later the Corfu Channel Incident remains a subject of distress both for survivors and for the families of the lost and wounded. Unanswered questions linger. Albanian navy Captain Artur Mecollari, present-day commander of his nation’s naval flotilla in the channel region and a historian of the events of 1946, has carefully analyzed the case. He argued in a 2009 book that the British ships had come much closer to shore than London ever admitted in court, entering the Bay of Sarandë before turning. If true, this would mean the Royal Navy vessels charted a deliberately provocative course, one that arguably took them out of the channel into Albania’s territorial waters. The mines laid as a result of Hoxha’s paranoid response to the earlier “incursion” were essentially a picket fence that had been crossed. Published in Albanian and never translated, Meçollari’s study might have gone unnoticed except for a recent discovery. In July 2007 the RPM Nautical Foundation, a U.S.- and Malta-based nonprofit, initiated a comprehensive archaeological survey of the coast of Albania in cooperation with the Albanian Institute of Archaeology and the Institute of Nautical Archaeology. Using sonar to map the seafloor in depths from a few hundred to 1,000 feet and a sophisticated remotely operated vehicle (ROV) to then examine each target, the survey team mapped natural seafloor features and identified 15 shipwrecks, one a Roman wreck dating from the 3rd century BC. The team classified the 14 other wrecks as modern, briefly examining but not mapping them. The site is not only a tangible reminder of an early maritime incident of the Cold War but also a trove of forensic evidence: The bow rests where Meçollari’s study said it might and not where the official accounts of 1946–49 suggested.
