A crew of Polish divers recently discovered a tragedy from the 19th century in the Baltic Sea, carrying a large number of bottles of wine, champagne, mineral water, and other traditional items.
According to a blog on the Baltictech Conference’s site, a group of swimmers on the M/Y Espace fleet made the discovery on a recent excursion to Sweden. The team from the Baltictech Conference pointed out that the catastrophe “appeared to be an aged fish vessel” on the radar system.
The Baltictech Conference stated it were “doubts whether there would be someone willing to move down” because the group was already planning a unique swim that day. However, two swimmers finally decided to take a closer look at the shipwreck.
The team “always knew that there was something really interesting on the bottom,” the post claimed after the divers had been away for about two hours.
” We encountered a 19th century sailing send in very good condition, loaded to the edges with champagne, liquor, mineral water and porcelaine”, the Baltictech Conference added. It was hard for us to determine the quantity because there was so much of it. More than 100 champagne bottles and mineral water were undoubtedly found in cement containers. And it was this body of water that provided the most interesting information and provided us with additional answers.

According to the blog, mineral waters was” treated about like medicine” and was used by aristocracy during the 19th centuries.
” I’ve been a swimmer for 40 times. From time to time, you see one or two jars”, Tomasz Stachura, the head of the swimming group, said in a speech to , BBC News. ” But I’ve always seen containers with bottles of alcohol, and boxes of fluids, like this”.
Before sinking, Stachura suggested the fleet might have been navigating to Stockholm or St. Petersburg. The president of the swimming crew made the observation that Tsar Nicholas I’s vessel was lost in the same area in 1852.
Stachura told BBC News,” That would explain why the fleet had this cargo, which was all very exclusive. ” Often, when we find ruins the goods is very low”.
New York Times World shared a photo of the most recent finding on social media. The vintage bottles discovered in the Baltic Sea aircraft are shown in the picture.
