Description

The Baltic sea holds close to 100,000 wrecks – many of them surprisingly well kept. The cold water and the historic lack of shipworms has preserved the ships better than anywhere else in the world – thus the Baltic Sea provides an enthralling treasure chest for divers. There are warships from the 17th century, magnificent wooden ships from the 18th century, cargo ships from the 19th century and warships from the Second World War.

On board these sunken ships, time has frozen – it often feels as if the crew has only just left the vessel. The wrecks have become like time capsules, a spooky mixture of serene beauty and haunting reminders of a brutal drama.

Ghost Ships of the Baltic Sea.

There are nearly 100 000 shipwrecks lying on the floors of the Baltic Sea – the cold waters in combination with the absence of shipworms has created a treasure chest for wreck divers. In this new breathtaking picture book we follow divers Jonas Dahm and Carl Douglas to the most spectacular shipwrecks in the Baltic Sea. There are Royal Navy vessels dating back to the time of the Swedish Empire, prodigious wooden ships, 19th-century cargo ships and submarines from World War II.

Carl Douglas and his team are behind several of the most eye-catching wreck discoveries in the Baltic Sea in recent decades. Their collective ambition is to document and conjure up an image of the long unseen history hidden in the deep sea. Some of their most impressive wreck findings include the signal reconnaissance aircraft DC-3, the royal warship “Svärdet” and the refugee transport ship General Von Steuben. They have also uncovered a completely undamaged merchant ship, as well as a British Submarine vessel from World War I.

On board these sunken ships, time has stood still – It often seems like the crew left the vessel only moments earlier. The wrecks have become like time capsules, a spooky mixture of serene beauty and haunting reminders of a brutal drama.

These astounding shipwreck images have attracted worldwide attention and are now being presented in large format for the very first time.

Description

A must have for everyone interested in the underwater realm.

This magnificent large-format photo book created by Carl Douglas and Jonas Dahm and in collaboration with the VOTO foundation, takes you down to the most spectacular wrecks in the Baltic Sea.

The unique qualities of the Baltic, with its cold water and the historic lack of shipworms, has help to preserve the shipwrecks better than anywhere else in the world. This makes the Baltic Sea an enthralling irresistible treasure chest trove for divers. There are warships dating from the 17th century, magnificent wooden ships from the 18th century, cargo ships from the 19th century and warships from the Second World War.

In these dark, cold, deep and rather harsh environments the divers have chosen to dive using JJ-CCR rebreather for its versatility and reliability. You will find that Jan Petersen creator of the JJ-CCR rebreather appear on some of the photos.

VOTO foundation was founded in 2019 at the initiative of Carl Douglas. He has for thirty years been engaged in, and dived, the oceans all over the world. His patronage includes, among many things, financing the discovery of a Swedish DC-3 shot down by Soviet fighter jets in the Baltic in 1952, the support of many ocean-research projects and the production of documentary films.
