A team of Polish divers has made an extraordinary discovery in the Baltic Sea, uncovering a 19th century shipwreck filled with intriguing historical cargo. Located about 20 nautical miles off the Swedish coast, the wreck yielded crates of Champagne, baskets of mineral water, and valuable porcelain artifacts.

Led by Tomasz Stachura, a seasoned diver and leader of the Baltictech Team, the divers expressed their astonishment at the abundance of cargo found in the wreckage. Stachura, who has been diving for 40 years, stated, "I have encountered a bottle or two during my dives, but discovering a wreck with such an extensive cargo is a first for me."

Following the expedition, researchers were able to glean insights into the vessel's history by analyzing the recovered artifacts. Marek Cacaj, an underwater videographer, revealed that they managed to capture images of a clay bottle with the brand name "Selters" stamped on it. The shape of the logo indicated that it was from the German company, which continues to produce mineral water to this day.

Divers estimate that the ship capsized in the second half of the 19th century. The geographical importance of the Baltic Sea was highlighted by the WWF Baltic, noting that it is the youngest sea on Earth, formed around 10,000-15,000 years ago as the glaciers retreated at the end of the last Ice Age. The sea is bordered by Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Russia, and Sweden.

In the press release, it was mentioned that Selters water, a German brand, was highly sought after in the 19th century and often reserved for royal tables, known for its medicinal qualities.

The Baltictech Team is collaborating with the Maris Foundation and Södertörn University to conduct further analysis of this rare and significant find. The team reported discovering approximately 100 Champagne bottles among the cargo. However, the extraction process may be delayed due to administrative restrictions.

This discovery adds to the impressive list of wrecks found by the Baltictech group in the Baltic Sea. Their previous notable find was the SS Karlsruhe, the last ship to leave Pilawa (the port of Koenigsberg) in 1945 before the Russian occupation of East Prussia during Operation Hannibal.
