Amidst renovation in central Stockholm five shipwrecks from the 16th-18th centuries have been discovered. Near this same location last year a ship dating to the 17th century was discovered.

    The ships are reported to be in good condition and measuring up to 20 meters long. It is unknown how the ships sank or their exact use. But because of their location and age it is believed they had something to do with the navy.
