Wreck of a 170-year-old ship found near Sweden 

There are 100 bottles of champagne in it; policemen used to accompany the royal families to deliver the precious liquor.

The wreck of a ship that sank in the Baltic Sea near Sweden in the 19th century has been recovered. According to CNN, the ship was filled with bottles of champagne (a kind of wine), mineral water and porcelain (ceramic).

The wreck was located 37 km south of Oland in Sweden. The ship sank 170 years ago. Stachura, a Polish diver 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 said that the wreck was in very good condition. The champagne was in bottles made of clay on which Selters brand sticker was pasted. It was one of the best champagne brands in Germany in the 19th century. Usually, their wine was bought by the royal family. Apart from this, it was also used in medicines.

800 years ago, the wine was stored in bottles

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 while transporting it 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 this ship was going and how it sank has not been revealed yet.

Wreckage of more than 1 lakh ships in the Baltic Sea

According to British media The Guardian, there are wrecks of more than 1 lakh ships in the Baltic Sea. In such a situation, marine divers, experts from the archaeological department and pirates often come here.

Two days ago, the wreckage of a ship that sank 55 years ago was found in Australia. It was present 170 meters below the ground. The MV Nungah ship, which killed 21 people, left New South Wales for Townsville on 23 August 1969. It had to cover a distance of about 1300 km.

Ship wreckage found in Australia after 55 years

The ship had 52 people on board, who were carrying containers filled with steel. By 25 August, 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 set out to search for MV Nungah with aircraft, helicopters and ships. The Australian Army found 26 people floating with the help of wood 12 hours after the ship sank. Since then, the ship remained a mystery for people.
