But that is not all! Delmenhorst is also the last of the three lost ships that were sunk during the naval battle of Fehmarn, which took place on 13 October 1644. This clash marked the beginning of Denmark’s decline as a European superpower.
This remarkable discovery was made at a depth of just 3.5 metres. The wreck is almost completely buried in the seabed and is located just 150 metres off the town of Rødbyhavn, located on the southern coast of the Danish island of Lolland.
The 31 metre long ship was grounded in the final hours of the battle against the unusually large Swedish-Dutch fleet. It was still hoped that it could be defended by cannon fire from the cannons located in Rødbyhavn, but then the Swedes resorted to an extremely clever method and sent one of their ships straight at Delmenhorst, which they had previously… set on fire! As a result, the Danish ship also caught fire and went down.
Archaeologists working on the Delmenhorst wreck have compiled a photographic record of some 30,000 images, which will eventually lead to a photogrammetric 3D model of the vessel.
