Around 450 pieces of wood have been recovered from the German shipwreck since salvage work began in June
."The ship has revealed more secrets than we dared to hope for," Lübeck's chief archaeologist, Dirk Rieger, toldBut what remains a mystery is who owned the ship and where the cargo came from. There are some clues—80 barrels of quicklime were found on board the ship in their original position. On some of these,reported.
Most everyday finds were found in the stern and consisted of high-quality wine and schnapps bottles. Crockery like three-legged vessels and jute pots, along with decorated vessels, also offer clues. All of these objects suggest there was a social structure on board and provide information about the passengers' eating and drinking patterns.
"We were surprised by the good state of preservation of the wood and, above all, the construction of the fuselage," Rieger toldAnother surprising find is that the body of the ship was particularly large, at around 75 feet.
