Kronan Wasn’t Discovered For More Than 300 Years
Kronan sank to her final resting place off the southeast coast of Sweden, where she would remain for over 340 years. As the wreckage would deteriorate and succumb to time at the bottom of the Baltic Sea, it also became a home for aquatic creatures and was overrun by the sea’s natural flora and fauna.
Kronan was nearly forgotten until some diving archaeologists decided to find her at the bottom of the sea.
