Maritime archaeologists in northern Germany have discovered the wreckage of a 400-year-old cargo ship that "sank almost standing," escaped decay from ravenous shipworms and still has the barrels of lime it was carrying for the stone-building industry centuries ago.
The ship, a rare discovery, is from the Hanseatic period, when a group of northern European trade guilds dominated the Baltic and North seas from the 13th to 17th centuries, Live Science previously reported. Wood quickly rots away underwater in this region, and few shipwrecks of this age have ever been found. But maritime archaeologists think the wreck survived beneath the waves because it was quickly engulfed and protected by a layer of fine mud carried there by the river Trave, which leads to the city of Lübeck about 5 miles (8 kilometers) inland.
The wrecked ship was between 66 to 82 feet (20 to 25 m) long and may have been a galliot, a single-masted cargo ship common during the Hanseatic period, Fritz Jürgens, the lead maritime archaeologist on the project and assistant chair of protohistory, medieval and postmedieval archaeology at Kiel University in Germany, told Live Science. At that time, the towns and guilds of northern Germany and elsewhere in Europe made up a successful bloc — the Hansa — that dominated trade throughout the Baltic and the North Sea.

Hmmmm. Following science?
DS having trouble with bread and circus, so moving to rare ships.
Look over there! 😂✌
Interesting.
Dude. Seriously hope you are joking.
“But maritime archaeologists think the wreck survived beneath the waves because it was quickly engulfed and protected by a layer of fine mud carried there by the river Trave...”
And the nobility that controlled the wehrluecken were notoriously lazy about dredging their canals.
Makes me wish I had a good ravenous shipworm story to relate.
Ping
Some people are so obsessed they see conspiracies everywhere. Look, even the Germans are in on it! They held news of this find until after the FBI raid on purpose!
It’s pretty sad when you think about it
How much doubt is there that we are at War. War with DS, FIB, CIA, DOJ, MSM.
At this point, there is nothing else than fighting this war.
IMVHO.
“DS having trouble with bread and circus, so moving to rare ships”.
??? I hope you’re kidding.
It is true! 400 year old ships aren’t found that often in that river.
Amazing. Really. I immediately thought it may have popped up from a time travel sink hole somehow. I heard a made for Amazon Prime tv series is gonna have an extra hole in the ground if they don’t renew the OUTER RANGE scifi series. They have extra bisons roaming around too if anyone is wondering why you’re seeing so many incidents where the Buffalo roam. Video made the Weather Channel even. 🙄
Fascinating. The “Vasa” survived intact because of a similar confluence of underwater factors.
Not surprisingly, the barrels containing the lime were made of coconut.
LOL!
LOL
Well its good to know you’re being vigilant. Keep us informed as to the latest developments. Meanwhile, i’m going to dinner with friends and enjoying life. Let me know if I need to head home, grab my Glock and strap up.
