The Polish diving group Baltictech, which routinely scours the Baltic Sea for shipwrecks, found a 19th-century sailing ship just south of Sweden, outside Polish territorial waters, diving team leader Tomasz Stachura said in a report on the Baltictech site.
They almost sailed by, he said. “One of the wrecks on the sonar was barely scratching and looked like a fishing boat,” Stachura said.
Despite having already done one dive that day, divers Marek Cacaj and Pawel Truszynski “showed a lot of determination and said they would do a quick dive,” Stachura said. When the two remained under for almost two hours, “we already knew that there was something very interesting on the bottom,” he said.
