Polish divers from the BalticTech Team discovered a 19th century shipwreck in the Baltic Sea, south of Sweden, filled with around 100 bottles of Champagne, mineral water, and porcelain.🍾

The cargo includes bottles of the high-end German mineral water brand Selters, believed to be destined for royalty. This rare find could date back to Tsar Nicholas I’s lost vessel from 1852.⌛️

Further exploration is planned, and more insights will be shared at the Baltictech 2024 Conference in Poland.
