A dozen previously unknown shipwrecks, some of them believed
to be up to 1000 years old, were discovered in the Baltic
Sea during a probe of the sea bed to prepare for the
installation of a large gas pipeline, the Swedish National

"We have managed to identify 12 shipwrecks, and nine
of them are considered to be fairly old", Peter Norman,
a senior advisor with the heritage board, told AFP.
