A large -scale study under the lake brought unique archaeological found -from ships to a fully retained shipment.
Researchers in the first instance have systematically reviewed the underwater culture of Lake Bodensky culture as part of The Wreckage and Deep Sea Project, which was launched in Germany in 2022, reports Armeonews. Within two years of work, the team used hydropolocation technologies, underwater devices and groups of various found 31 previously unknown ships, all of them resting to a depth of up to 251 meters.
Among them were the remains of two large metal buildings, which were probably among former passenger steams SD Baden (1871) and SD Friedrichshafen II (1909). Both contain up to 600 passengers, but completed their way in vain: Friedrichshafen II was destroyed during the wind attack in World War II and flooded in 1946, Baden was disabled in 1930 and lowered to the bottom.
Scientists call the most important finding of the almost fully preserved shipment cargo with a full mast and rea. In the absence of a significant spread of clothing and fresh water, even small details are preserved – mooring bunks, studs and a gear wheel.
In addition to ships, archaeologists found a bud of 17 wooden barrels, some of which maintain coverings and possible stamps. Their origin is not yet known.
The study continues and lasts until 2027. Increasing destruction is not planned because of the high cost-the team’s main purpose is to create a complete archaeological catalog of sinking lakes and long-term observation of their condition.
We reminded, earlier reported that in the North Sea found a British ship, which sank in World War I.
A sinking ship in the 16th century was found on the coast of France
