According to Norman of the Swedish National Heritage Committee on March 9, the oldest boat was found to have been more than 800 years old, the rest of them were from the 17th to the 19th century.

The outside image of these ancient boats shows that they are perfectly preserved and undamaged.

After studying these photos, Swedish marine archaeologists have affirmed that ancient boats are of great historical value.

Currently, the authorities have not planned to salvage these ancient boats.

The Swedish National Heritage Commission hopes to conduct underwater research on ancient boats through submarine vehicles.

However, Mr. Norman said that because these boats are located in the deep sea position, the exploration needs to have advanced technology and big cost.
