The story about famous ship and UW archaeologists work on finding and identifying of shipwrecks.

Early on a sunny morning of August 6, captain Andrey Sinitsyn commanded to cast off a 53-tonne diving boat 311 heading for the western-most point of Russia in the Gulf of Finland – the island of Hogland. So the 71st underwater archaeological expedition of the project Secrets of Shipwrecks started.
