The Dalarö wreck is one of the world's best preserved 17th-century wrecks, lying at about 30 metres depth by Edesön off Dalarö. It was discovered in 2003 by the Marine Culture Society, and archaeologists from the Swedish Maritime Museum have investigated the site together with specialists from the University of Southampton and Södertörn University.
Although it is a fairly small ship, about 20 meters long, with a hold and six gun ports, its silhouette is similar to the larger warships. On and around the wreck are many objects – pottery, glass bottles, tools, handweapons, parts of the rigging, and baskets and crates. On the bottom rests the figurehead, depicting a roaring lion on its hind legs. Two masts are still standing.

In 2017, the ship was probably identified as Bodekull, a small frigate.

In june 2017, Bodekull was documented for 3D-rendering within the EU Interreg Central baltic Project Baltacar. https//www.facebook.com/ProjectBALTACAR/

This 3D model represents a preserved section of the deck construction of the 17th-century Dutch fluyt (fluitschip) Double Dutch (NCN 34303), documented during the 2025 field campaign. The wreck (31m x 6m), discovered in 2022 in the Dutch Wadden Sea near Kornwerderzand, was subject to systematic archaeological investigation between 2023 and 2025. The surviving deck structure provides valuable evidence for the vessel’s internal arrangement and load-bearing framework, and contributes to the interpretation of the ship as a two-deck armed merchantman. Together with the other recorded structural components, it supports identification of the vessel as a fluyt measuring approximately 120 Amsterdam feet.

Double Dutch Fluyt: deck assembly

This model presents part of the keel and floor timber assembly of the 17th-century Dutch fluyt (fluitschip) Double Dutch (NCN 34303), recorded during photogrammetric survey in 2025. As a principal structural element of the ship’s bottom construction, this assembly provides significant information on building sequence, framing arrangement, and hull architecture. The wreck (31m x 6m) , located near Kornwerderzand in the Dutch Wadden Sea, has been provisionally dated to c. 1680 on the basis of dendrochronological evidence and associated material culture. In conjunction with the vessel’s recorded dimensions and other constructional features, this element reinforces the identification of the wreck as a two-deck Dutch fluyt.

17th-century recumbent O'Madden graveslab measuring 1.98m long by top Wth 0.76m by base width 0.71m by thickness 0.13m, in the chancel of Portumna Dominican Friary Church (GA127-019----), Co. Galway. Floriated tapering graveslab has Latin cross with fleur-de-lis terminals rising from a stepped base carved in false relief. A central lozenge  frames a six-pointed star/rosette. A triskele is visible in the terminal of the right arm of the cross. Above the cross there is an I H S Christogram with Latin cross rising from the crossbar of the H.  An inscription beneath the base is in Latin. Within the frame around the sides and base of the slab another inscription indicates that this is a memorial slab to the Coghlan and Madden family dating to 1648.  Hic est Tumulus Corneil coglin et unctae maddin uxor seiuset successorum pro quibus orate pro april 1648 - This is the Mound of Cornelius Coghlan and ?? Maddin, his wife, his successors, for whom pray for April 1648. For more details visit: https://tinyurl.com/yn9ksxm3

Portumna Abbey Graveslab (GA127-019004-)

This 3D model documents the preserved stem assembly of the 17th-century Dutch fluyt (fluitschip) Double Dutch (NCN 34303), discovered in 2022 in the intertidal zone of the Wadden Sea near Kornwerderzand by Stichting Archeos Fryslân. The wreck (31m x 6m) was investigated through a series of diving expeditions between 2023 and 2025. Based on constructional characteristics, associated artefacts, and dendrochronological analysis of sampled timbers, the vessel has been dated to around 1680. The stem assembly constitutes an important diagnostic component for the reconstruction of the bow structure and supports the interpretation of the wreck as a Dutch fluyt of approximately 120 Amsterdam feet in length.
