Resande Man

In November 1660, Captain Månsson and his fiancée set sail for Poland on the ship Resande Man. On board are an ambassador and diplomats who will make Poland join Sweden against Russia. In Stockholm's southern archipelago, they encounter a storm, run aground and sink. In 2012, the wreck was found.

Fishing on wrecks a risk

Bottom trawling poses a huge risk to shipwrecks and other remains. A new report shows that more than 600 known ancient and cultural heritage remains are in danger. But now, fishermen, recreational divers, and maritime and fishing tour operators will be getting information about our unique cultural heritage.

Ongoing investigation: Osmund wreck

In the autumn of 2021, a floating research station was towed out into the Stockholm archipelago. The station could only be reached by boat - and the purpose was to investigate a very unusual wreck. We call it the Osmund wreck.

Wrecking news

Like looking for ghosts

Today, maritime archaeologists at the Museum of Wrecks are off on a diving mission in Stockholm’s southern archipelago. On behalf of Stockholm University, they are creating a new 3D image of the seafloor. They’re also searching for measuring devices that can help answer the question of whether groundwater is discharging into the Baltic Sea. If you find groundwater leakage then the next question is, what substances does it contain?

On a frigid mission

Maritime archaeologists at the Museum of Wrecks are currently out on assignment in the grip of the frigid waters of the Baltic Sea. They are documenting some shipwrecks in Stockholm’s southern archipelago, ones that have been given geographical or other names but have not been definitively identified.

WWII mine detonated near Resande Man

A private individual who was diving in shallows this summer in Stockholm’s southern archipelago made a surprising discovery: a mine on the seabed. The shallows are located in an area of underwater rocks and skerries where the warship Resande Man grounded and sank in November 1660. The mine turned out to be from World War II and lay at a depth of 6 metres. The mine has now been detonated.
