Early pictures suggest the ship resembled work of Dutch ship-builders (16 or 17th century). The ship is apparently in a pretty good shape, mainly because of the sea&#8217;s low oxygen content and temperatures. The BBC article links to &#8216;Deep Sea Productions&#8217;: I&#8217;m not sure why it&#8217;s linked there since the name does not even appear in the text. However, DSP&#8217;s site has <a href=\"http:\/\/www.deepsea.se\/?id=wrecks&#038;wreckid=6\">pretty photos of other wrecks<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Mail (UK) reported <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/pages\/live\/articles\/news\/news.html?in_article_id=494079&#038;in_page_id=1770\">that a US aircraft was discovered on the Wales coast<\/a> after &#8216;freak weather conditions&#8217; caused sands to shift and expose the frame. The article mentions that earlier this year, a beachgoing family spotted the remains too but thought it was an &#8216;aerial&#8217; drone (apparently, regularly used for target practice in the early 50s). The location is (for now) kept secret: according to experts, the plan still has high octane fuel onboard.\n<\/p>\n<p>And then way earlier (last week, already), <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2007\/11\/13\/world\/europe\/13russia.html?hp\">at least 11 ships (including an oil tanker) sank in the Black Sea<\/a> as they were pounded by waves in a heavy Fall storm. At least 23 sailors are reported missing: however there are no (thorough) reports about the <a href=\"http:\/\/uk.reuters.com\/article\/environmentNews\/idUKL1522890120071115?pageNumber=1\">ecological impact of the oil spill<\/a> caused by that oil tanker (for some kind of reason, this just fell of the radar in our section of the world).\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"extra\"><small><strong>Update 1: <\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.liveleak.com\/view?i=a3c_1195204688&#038;p=1\">TV\/video<\/a> report about the find in the Baltic Sea (English).<br \/>\n<strong>Update 2 (11\/18\/07): <\/strong> Excellent <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/slideshow\/2007\/11\/12\/world\/1112-RUSSIA_index.html\">slideshow of Black Sea storm<\/a> at NYT<br \/>\n<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday, I was reading two articles about two wrecks: the first one was about that shipwreck found by a Swedish TV team somewhere in the Baltic sea.
