From dictionary.com:

Usage Note: The verbs founder and flounder are often confused. Founder comes from a Latin word meaning bottom (as in foundation) and originally referred to knocking enemies down; it is now also used to mean to fail utterly, collapse. Flounder means to move clumsily, thrash about, and hence to proceed in confusion. If John is foundering in Chemistry 1, he had better drop the course; if he is floundering, he may yet pull through.

Uh, submitter, Gilligan had absolutely nothing to do with the SS Minnow (A fine ship name) going down. It was the storm. This headline is an insult to Bob Denver and all that he represents. I now surround you with gunmen and demand appology.

Except the Greeks don't use Latin/Roman names. Try "Gilliganopoulos".

My father was born and raised in Athens so I think I have a clue here. ;)

Yes, considering how much "Wood Hole" and an oceanographic institute have in common, the ranking on the clever scale for this one is...

There is a mildly humorous joke to be made by calling the Professor Archimedes.

If it was a Greek shipwreck, his name would be Gilliganos, not Gilliganus. Ramblings of a drunk classicist.

It could be a Greek transforming into a Roman bumbling 2nd officer.

So, the ship is 2300 years old, which puts it around 300 B.C.

"The study of the Chios shipwreck is part of a 10-year project that aims to examine ancient trade in the Mediterranean during the Bronze age (2500-1200 B.C.). In particular, the project will focus on the Minoan and Mycenaean cultures and their trading partners."

So wouldn't that make this ship about, oh, I don't know, 1500 years out of that range? These historians need a mathematician.

/still a cool find

The Greeks stopped being Greek after THE Macedonian kicked ass. According to my Macedonian coworker.
