A rare wrought bronze gun has been salvaged. During new investigations in 2000 by Thomas Förster another breech-loaded wrought iron was found on the site. Possibly the wreck is identical with Hamborger Jegeren, built in Hamburg and bought by Denmark. Described in IJNA 27/2 1998, Deutsches Schiffahrtsarchiv Jahrbuch 1997, and by Thomas Förster in Nachrichtenblatt Arbeitskreis Unterwasserarchäologie 5/1999 and 7/2000.

• Wilhelm Gustloff. German 208 m long passenger ship built in 1938 and named after a Nazi who was killed in Switzerland. During just one year she served as a cruise ship offering subsidised vacation tours. She was built for 1463 passengers and 650 crew. But then came the war. On January 30, 1945 she was loaded with civilian refugees and wounded soldiers – nobody knows how many, perhaps 10 000. During the night she was hit off the present Polish coast by 3 torpedoes from Soviet submarine S-13. Hundreds died instantly, and after one hour the ship sank. About 1250 survived, and around 7-9000 died in the ice cold water, making this the worst maritime disaster ever. The wreck is on 50 m depth on Polish territory, considered a grave and diving is not permitted. The bow and stern are well preserved, but the middle section was demolished after the war. The midships section is so damaged that any hopes to find the famous Amber room inside, seem to be wishful thinking. Described in Die Gustloff-Katastrophe by Heinz Schön. Link.

• Estonia. Estonian Passenger ship that sank in 1994 on international water in the middle of the Baltic Sea on its way from Tallinn to Stockholm. No archaeological significance, just tragedy. Nearly 900 people died.
