A group of divers who ventured into the depths of the Baltic Sea made a remarkable discovery - a perfectly preserved wreck that dates back 400 years. A team dives down through the frigid depths of the Gulf of Finland, the easternmost section of the Baltic Sea. They’re heading for a shipwreck they believe probably dates from WWI or WWII. Yet that’s not what they find. Instead, they come across something entirely unexpected. It’s a merchantman that sank some four centuries ago. But what utterly astonishes the Finnish divers is the fact that the 400-year-old wooden ship is almost entirely intact.
