Hi,

Very nice video shots. The conservation of wood in Baltic Sea is just excellent (unlike the Caribbean waters....)! it is pity that there is no information in English, Spanish or German about this discovery, or at least I have not found it. In which depth was this wreck found?

Regards,
Lobo

Now this is what a shipwreck that can be professionally studied
should look like!

In the public debate of want-to-be-underwater
archaeologists against us dastardly undersea explorers and treasure hunters
if you compared this 3 minutes of film to the hours of video and photos
anyone can see that the hundreds to thousands of holes we have to
excavate just to find what ever may remains of a ship that
no longer exists - that we should be rewarded for our efforts
rather than damned for just being motivated by
the lust for gold....

Capt Dom

P.S. Someone should ask the Seahunter just how many times he had to turn on his
excavators this season - not how many days he worked to find the 150 or so coin specimens.
The point being.... we work damn hard for the results we attain and that land based classical archaeological
technique has little application in high energy surf zone shipwreck sites.

That wreck is in totally awesome condition! Obviously the water depth and the cold water has preserved it quite well! The bronze cannons are priceless! I had the same question as Bobadilla wondering what's the water depth?

Carumba! Now, there's some archaeologists earning their keep (if they are not commercial divers). What a dream find! Thanks much for the post. Enjoyed it a great deal.
