Maritime archaeologists from Vrak collaborated with the coast guard in the Stockholm archipelago, to find out more about the 16th century ship known as Kraveln.
One day in the 1550s, a customs officer in Stockholm inspected barrels of iron pieces known as osmund iron. The barrels had been loaded onto a ship for export, but the ship never reached its destination and sank at Dalarö. They have now been recovered by Vrak – Museum of Wrecks in a unique maritime archaeological investigation.
The book “Under the Surface” takes readers to the world under the surface of the Baltic Sea, where unique findings are preserved. It is now free for download.
In 2022 and 2023, maritime archaeologists at Vrak conducted dives on three shipwrecks located in Uppsala County. Two of them are now ancient monuments.
