This is the best summary I could come up with:
It was discovered 125 feet beneath the surface of the ocean in a portion of the Baltic Sea that had never been studied in detail prior to Ignitis Renewables’ research, the company said.
Paulius Kalmantas, a spokesperson for Ignitis Renewables, said in a statement that Lithuanian authorities confirmed the company’s find had not previously been marked in any national databases.
The company said additional historical and underwater archaeological research would help authorities learn more about the shipwreck, something Kalmantas said “will be valuable for the country’s scientific community and historians.”
“While carrying out research on the Baltic Sea floor for the offshore wind power park project, we have found a previously unknown sunken ship!”
Whether Lithuania will formally register the shipwreck in its national database of historically-significant places depends on the ongoing research, said Augustina Kurilienė, an official with the heritage department at the country’s ministry of culture.
Archaeologist and heritage expert Elena Pranckėnaitė told the company the shipwreck can also be studied to understand more about the history of shipping in the Baltic Sea.
The original article contains 454 words, the summary contains 175 words. Saved 61%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Probably a ship sunk during WWI or WWII.
If that’s the case, I’m surprised there is no historical record of the sinking, either from the country that owned it, or the one that sunk it.

Aaahhhh…
Unternehmen Hannibal, good times.
It has 230 ft, that’s 70 m since we’re in Europe
I wonder what tonnage a vessel that size would be?
Probably a ship wreck
They found the Nautilus?
The Orang Medan!

What are those blocky things on top side?
That’s a great question. They almost look like blocks, and one looks moved right by the wrecked ship. When was the last time the Baltic Sea was above sea level?
Possible artifacting if the surveying was done by 2 ships a certain distance from each other?
I believe the wrinkles that look like waves are the sand ground and it’s deep under water and we don’t see the water surface.
I agree about the wave/wrinkle looking things. I’m talking about the block looking things above the ship, and one beside it that looks like it moved from above it. I’m not sure how Lemmy works across instances but I did add a picture to my comment.
When was the last time the Baltic Sea was above sea level?
Only thing i know is that the british channel was created after thawing lakes at the end of the ice age flooded their way. Probably something similiar with the baltic sea. And before the ice age, there were no civilizations. And even before that, there was even deeper sea (before europe surfaced). So, probably never.
Presumably not before the mini ice age ~12k years ago… you mean the full-blown ice age right.
(I don’t know the proper terms of the eras sorry)
Yes, the big thing.
Btw, not to derail the point, but how do you embedd images instead of as link?
Like this. I think the image also has to be on its own line.
thx.
