Archaeologists find a supersized medieval shipwreck in Denmark
Summary
Archaeologists uncovered the wreck of an enormous medieval cargo ship off Denmark, a cog named Svaelget 2, built around 1410 CE. The ship measured about 28 meters long and 9 meters wide, with an estimated cargo capacity of 300 tons, and the cargo appears to be missing. The discovery sheds light on the scale of medieval European trade, shipbuilding, and daily life at sea, including crew size and onboard amenities.
