Wrecks

Nowhere else in the world are there as many well preserved wooden wrecks as in the Baltic.Archaeologists believe there may be more than 100 000 of them! That makes the Baltic a museum under the sea.

Here is the story of how Sweden, after many trials and tribulations, finally in 1938 got its Maritime Museum.
