History
VRAK – Museum of Wrecks is located in a former boathouse on the Galärvarv area. Wrecks are included in the State's maritime and transport history museums, as is the Vasa museum. You will find the museum in an old boathouse designed by the architect Paul Hedqvist in 1941. Fahlander Arkitekter has subsequently adapted the appearance of the building to today's museum. The museum was inaugurated in September 2021 with a speech by H.M. The King.
What you can see at the Wreck Museum
You will not see real wrecks at the museum, but you will travel to the bottom of the sea with the help of films, holograms and VR solutions. The marine archaeologists' films on the bottom of the sea, which are then displayed in 3D format at the museum. In addition to the many different wrecks on the bottom of the Baltic Sea, you can also see wreck stories from Denmark and about one of the Hanseatic ships that sank near Wismar in the 14th century. the Dutch two-masted Vrouw Maria which was wrecked in 1771 in the Finnish archipelago.
Another department specializes in the work of marine archaeologists, on 3D cameras and underwater robots. Also how to age bone and wood.
Why are there so many ships in the Baltic Sea?
This is because the Baltic Sea is brackish water and the shipworm does not thrive there. In addition, the bottom is very low in oxygen and they prevent the decomposition of the material that lies on the bottom of the sea.
Expensive to salvage ships
It is a very large and expensive process to salvage things from the bottom of the sea. Actually, you don't salvage if it's not scientifically justified. Hence, much remains in both lakes and seas.
