1000 warships, 100 wrecks, one database

The Baltic sea preserves thousands of historical shipwrecks, a unique and hidden part of history. When Swedish maritime museum Vrak took part in a research project to localize, identify and investigate the sunken ships of the Swedish navy we decided to bring these wrecks to the surface trough a free database: Örloggen (The Warship Log). This collaboration builds on open API:s, open data and knowledge from several institutions, all with the goal to salvage knowledge from the deep.
