The shipwreck was first found in 2022 at the bottom of the Trave River, which flows through the Baltic Sea into Germany. Archaeologists found that this German shipwreck was different from other shipwrecks in the region. The latest development in ship salvage efforts since its discovery last year has led to the discovery of one of the world’s oldest and high quality wine.
The identities of those who traveled on board remain a mystery. However, according to the latest discovery, archaeologists think it was probably a ship that sailed during the Age of Discovery, which stretched from the 15th to the 17th century. -A period of extensive overseas exploration around the world.-
In the German city of Lubeck, which is located along the Baltic Sea, archaeologists have discovered over 450 pieces of wood from the shipwreck since June. Local politicians debated whether or not to salvage the ship’s wreckage despite the fact that it was discovered last year, according to a report in the German newspaper Die Welt.
After getting the all-clear, archaeologists discovered not only high quality wine but also information about the ship’s purpose as a commerce ship.
Sunken ships – such as the Titanic, which disappeared in 1912 – have always intrigued and fascinated the modern world. Regardless, these underwater ship graves have attracted not only the public but also scientific minds, as these phenomena are perceived as having treasures and a glimpse into the past.
These ships often sank due to human negligence, extreme storms, high waves and other causes. NASA operates the Global Marine Debris Database, which keeps a record of more than 250,000 shipwreck locations, showing the date and location of the wrecked ship. These records began in January 1970.
Shipwrecks represent a public interest in potential treasures. Whether material or historical artifacts, these treasures have stood the test of time because they can be preserved underwater.
