1903, Arthur Stoddard Cooley, “The Bronze Hermes from Antikythera”, in the Rev. Henry Mason Baum, Frederick Bennett Wright, editors, Records of the Past, volume 2, Washington, D.C.: Records of the Past Exploration Society, pages 207–208:About the end of 1900 Symæan divers fishing from the sponge-fishing boat ‘Photios Lentiakós,’ under Captain Demetrios E. Kontos, pulled up the well-preserved hand of a bronze statue off the north coast of Antikythera, the ancient Aigile (Cerigotto), near the place called to-day Pinakakia, about an hour distant from the river (whose mouth is) the principal mooring ground of the island. At this discovery the captain of the boat dived himself, and seeing in the place where the hand was found a heap of various ancient statues, he stopped fishing for sponges and got under way for Syme (an island off the coast of Asia Minor, 15 miles N. W. of Rhodes), whence after consultation with other patriotic Symæans he came to Athens and communicated the find to the Greek Government, begging at the same time for official permission to go forward at his own expense to bring up the statues.
