Swedish west coast:

• The Galtabäck wrecks. Two clinker-built ships found on land in a silted-up harbour near Varberg on the west coast. First find in 1908, excavations 1928 and 1998. Dated to 12th century. As the photo shows, the mast-step is in the frame, and not in the keelson. Report in Swedish.
• Stora Sophia. Danish battleship built in 1627 and similar to the Vasa. Sank in storm in 1645 near Gothenburg. The wreck was located in the 1950s on 25-28 m depth. Only the lower part of the hull is preserved sunken down in the bottom mud. Partially excavated in the 1980s. Two 24 pound bronze guns are exhibited in the Göteborg Maritime Museum.
• Havmanden. Danish East India-man. The crew mutinied in 1683. First the ship headed for the Azores, then towards Copenhagen. But navigated wrong and sank north of Björkö Island near Gothenburg. Found in 1999 by scuba diving amateur underwater archaeologists. Investigated in 2001 by Bohusläns museum.
• Fredricus. Swedish warship sunk at the west coast in 1719. After investigation, the wrecksite was covered again, thus preserved for future studies.
• Götheborg. Swedish Eastindiaman that sank on the Swedish west coast in 1745. Partially excavated 1986-92. It sank in salt water and only the lower parts remained.   A full scale reconstruction is being built.
• Amasis and Antares. German cargo ships on their way to Oslo during the attack on Norway. They were sunk 9-10 April 1940 off the Swedish west coast by British submarine Sunfish. Officially loaded with coal, in reality loaded with war supplies. Rumours about troops hidden in the cargo rooms have never been confirmed. Amasis is 133 m long and lying on appr 45 m depth. Antares is 96 m long and rests on 47-49 m. They are difficult diving objects, because of the depth and strong currents.
