What happened to the Syracusia ship after it entered Alexandria.

by tonehponeh

Did it end up sinking, did they use the parts for other ships, did the ship wreck, or something else?

The ship did successfully reach its destination of Alexandria (though it was not called Alexandria at the time). The ship was beached by the shore, a dock built around it and it was used as a building on the river. After that point, it is never mentioned in historical text again. Most historians agree that it probably was broken down eventually because it got too old but we do not know.
