Shipwrecks On Land?
A routine rail project in Sweden turned up six medieval shipwrecks, buried in mud about 200 yards from where the shore used to be. We dig into what the wrecks reveal about a far-reaching medieval trade network (one ship came from the Netherlands, another from Poland), why ships sank so often, and how rare these carvel-style hulls are. We also explore why history keeps turning up beneath our feet, from parking lots to a metal-detecting dad’s backyard finds.
