Soil tests on water bottles recovered from the ship revealed that they were made between 1850 and 1867.
A 19th century shipwreck has been found by a team of British divers. It was searched and many 175-year-old champagne bottles were found along with the valuables. It goes without saying that the price of this champagne, lying on the seabed for hundreds of years, is practically priceless. Indian media NDTV said this in a report.

On July 11, 2 divers dived about 20 nautical miles south of Oland Island in the Baltic Sea. They were searching there for about 2 hours. There they noticed a sinking ship.

These two were members of a diving group. After noticing the matter, they informed their group about it. Then a group of 40 divers appeared there. Toms Stachura, the head of the team, said that a German brand of mineral water bottles and a large amount of champagne were found in the ship at a depth of about 190 feet.

The 19th century ship is practically in good condition. Large baskets were filled with bottles of champagne and water. More surprisingly, a large number of pottery vessels were recovered from the ship. The company that made that pottery still exists. The company has admitted that the bottles are made by them. However, it is not yet clear which company the champagnes belong to.
It has been reported that the water bottles recovered from the ship were soil tested and were made between 1850 and 1867.

Presumably, it was a commercial vessel. At that time they were sold commercially. Originally, kings used to drink this. These bottles were so expensive that police security was arranged to transport them from one place to another. It is estimated that it could take a year to recover the cargo that is on board.

Experts claim that the ship was going to trade in Russia by 1852. But in the middle of the accident, the ship was buried in the sea.
