A team of Polish divers discovered the wreck of a 19th-century vessel laden with about 100 sealed bottles of champagne. The shipwreck is in the Baltic Sea in 60 meters of water about 20 nautical miles south of the Swedish island of Öland.
“I think we have a treasure,” Tomasz Stachura, leader of the Polish diving group Baltictech, posted to Facebook after the team’s July 11 discovery.
Stachura, who specializes in underwater photography, said the ship was in “very good condition” and “brimming with historical treasures, including crates of champagne, baskets of mineral water and porcelain,” according to the Washington Post.
