The pictures are of the wreckage of a ship found near Sweden.
The wreck of a 19th century ship that sank in the Baltic Sea near Sweden has been recovered. According to CNN, the ship was filled with bottles of champagne, mineral water and porcelain.
The wreck of the ship was present 37 km south of Oland, Sweden. The ship sank 170 years ago. Polish diver Stachura, who found the wreck, said that he has been taking pictures of ship wrecks in the Baltic Sea for the last 40 years. This is the first time he has found more than 100 bottles of wine on a ship.
In a press release issued by Stachura’s company, it was told that the wreck of the ship was in very good condition. The champagne was in bottles made of clay on which Selters brand stickers were pasted. It was one of the best champagne brands in Germany in the 19th century. Usually, their wine was purchased by the royal family. Apart from this, it was also used in medicines.
Champagne bottles are visible in the wreckage of the ship.
Swedish authorities say it could take up to a year to remove the wreckage of the ship.
Wine was stored in bottles 800 years ago
The brand was named after the German city of Selters. The wine was stored in bottles 800 years ago. The company said that this wine was so valuable that the police also accompanied it when it was transported from one place to another.
The Swedish government has been informed about the wreckage of the ship and the items found in it. According to the report, it may take up to 1 year to remove it from the sea. Information about where the ship was going and how it sank has not been revealed yet.
More than 1 lakh ships are wrecked in the Baltic Sea
According to British media The Guardian, there are more than 1 lakh ship wrecks in the Baltic Sea. In such a situation, marine divers, archeological experts and pirates often come here.
Two days ago, the wreckage of a ship that sank 55 years ago was found in Australia. It was located 170 meters below the ground. The MV Nungah ship that killed 21 people left New South Wales for Townsville on 23 August 1969. It had to cover a distance of about 1300 km.
This is the exterior of the MV Nungah ship which is completely safe.
Ship wreckage found in Australia after 55 years
There were 52 people on board the ship, which was carrying containers filled with steel. By August 25, it had travelled 315 kilometres when it encountered a dangerous storm. Its speed was more than 110 kilometres per hour, which the ship could not handle and it sank.
After the ship sank, the Australian Army conducted the biggest marine search in history. The army went out to search for MV Nungah using planes, helicopters and ships. The Australian Army found 26 people floating with the help of a wooden log 12 hours after the ship sank. Since then the ship remained a mystery for the people.
