The wreck of a four-century-old ship that used to belong to King Gustav II Adolf of Sweden has been uncovered in central Stockholm.

Swedish archaeologists believe they have identified a shipwreck discovered in the capital as the more than 400-year-old warship 'Scepter', built in 1615 as one of the flagships in King Gustav II Adolf's fleet.

What an experience it would be to help with the recovery of something like this.

Although I can't help but wonder about the future of relics in countries being engulfed by muslim immigrants. We all know what they like to do with non islamic historical icons once they have the chance.
