Work on the wreck is hugely dependent on the weather, but as Richard Lundgren reports on his social media profile, the last few days have been quite kind and some interesting dives have been made.
The survey team managed to expand the area covered by photogrammetry, several other objectives were surveyed and documented. Although conditions are tough and the dives are extreme, there is general optimism in the camp and great enthusiasm before the next dives.

The activities around the Mars shipwreck are an excellent example of digitally executed excavations and the application of non-invasive methods used in modern underwater archaeology.
The fragile wreck has been lying at the bottom of the Baltic Sea since 1564, and its depth of 72 metres is a serious impediment to the daily work of archaeologists. Fortunately, thanks to the achievements of modern technology, the “Mars” can be documented using photogrammetry, creating extremely accurate 3D models that are of great research value.
The visualisations thus prepared will serve scientists on the surface, contributing to a better understanding of this amazing archaeological site.
