During the course of the individual episodes, the Baltictech group came across new and previously unknown information. This not only provided a more complete picture of the vessels in question and the fates of the crews, but also revealed facts that were previously unknown.

Such flavours will probably further encourage wreck d iving enthusiasts to watch the Baltic Mystery Hunters series. On the other hand, it is such a unique production that true wreck diving enthusiasts do not need to be persuaded additionally.

Torpedo boat Tupolev G-5

The Soviet lighttorpedo boat type G-5 was developed in the late 1920s by General Andrei Tupolev, a well-known designer of passenger and bomber aircraft. It is not surprising, therefore, that both the design solutions and the materials used were taken from aircraft designs. This type of the ship was the most mass-produced Soviet small ship. In only 10 years, in the period from 1934 to 1944 as many as 200 such units were constructed.
