A Swedish team has salvaged hundreds of bottles of liquor from the wreck of a ship sunk during World War I in the Baltic Sea.
The group brought 600 bottles of cognac and 300 bottles of Benedictine - a herbal liqueur - to shore on October 22 after recovering them from the wreck of the Kyros, which was sunk by a German submarine in 1917. "The conditions in the Baltic are very suitable for storing these kinds of beverages because it's ... dark and very cold," Peter Lindberg, who led the expedition, said.The ship's crew survived and were transferred to another vessel. They later returned to Sweden, according to Ocean X.
After relocating the steamship at a depth of 77 metres in the Sea of Aland between Sweden and Finland, it took years to clear the wreck of abandoned fishing nets so divers could inspect it, but even then conditions proved to be too difficult to search manually."After we had been there several times with divers and a smaller ROV , we realised that the situation was becoming too dangerous," Mr Lindberg said.
