Diving into the interior of the shipwreck

Frames lie exposed

The video shows the wreck in its current state of excavation. Follow the underwater archaeologist of lübeckduring his dive from bow to stern after the recovery of the keelson and the inner planking. You can see the keel, the frames lying on top of it and the outer planking. The very tightly set frames are divided into floor timbers, timbers laid across the keel, each of which has two limber holes, as well as the futtocks.

In some cases, severe damage caused by mechanical forces, probably due to earlier dredging of the Trave, can be seen. In addition, the immense weight of the barrels has left marks.
