Background

The wreck was discovered as early as 1971 by a local diving club. For many years after its discovery, the old wooden wreck was a popular place for scuba diving. The discovery of old-style carriages for iron guns meant that archaeologists from Kalmar County Museum, led by Lars Einarsson on behalf of the County Administrative Board in Blekinge, visited the site during the 2000s and conducted several archaeological investigations.
One windlass and nine wooden carriages for small wrought iron guns.


Summary

At Stora Ekön, outside Ronneby in southern Sweden, in ten meters of water, lies a large Late-Medieval shipwreck. The hull has opened up and fallen outwards, with various parts of the ship laying scattered on the seabed, partly covered by sediment. In 2013, the Maritime Archeological Research Institute, MARIS at Södertörn University, began a new study of the 15th-century shipwreck, as part of a larger study of early modern warships. Between 2013 and 2018, several smaller investigations focusing mainly on ship documentation were then carried out on the wreck. In the autumn of 2019, Södertörn University, in collaboration with Blekinge Museum, Lund University, University of Southampton, along with other colleagues, carried out an archaeological excavation on the wreck. A 6 x 2 meter large trench was excavated on the starboard side amidships
