Up to 1,000 years old unknown shipwrecks were discovered in the Baltic Sea during a probe of the sea bed to prepare for the installation of a large gas pipeline, the Swedish National Heritage Board said Monday.
Peter Norman, a senior advisor with the custom board told that they have manage to identify 12 shipwrecks, and nine of them are considered to be fairly old, they think that many of the ships are from the 17th and 18th centuries. They think
some could even be from the middle Ages. The discovery offers enormous culture-historical value. The shipwrecks were discovered during a probe by the Russian-led Nord Stream grouping of the sea bed route its planned gas pipeline from Russia to the European Union will take through the Baltic. Norman explained that none of the wrecks were in the actual path the Nord Stream pipeline is set to take, but they were in its so-called anchor passage, meaning they are in the area where ships laying the pipeline might anchor,
the reasons this probe was done is to avoid damaging wrecks on the sea bed.
