CNN —A 19th-century shipwreck packed with crates of unopened champagne has been found in the depths of the Baltic Sea.
The long-forgotten vessel was brimming with bubbly, according to the team of Polish divers who made the discovery off the coast of Sweden.
“The whole wreck is loaded to the brim with crates of champagne, mineral water, and porcelain,” Tomasz Stachura, the leader of the Baltictech diving team that found the wreck, said in a press release sent to CNN.
The divers said the wreck was in very good condition.
While the champagne certainly provided cause for celebration, it was the bottles of water that perhaps shed most light on the vessel’s history.
