The museum’s maritime archaeologists investigate warship wrecks in several locations along Sweden’s coasts. The investigations are being conducted within the framework of the research programme “The Forgotten Fleet”, in collaboration with the CEMAS Centre for Maritime Studies at Stockholm University, Vrak/SMTM, and the Finnish Heritage Agency. The research programme is funded by the Riksbankens Jubileumsfond foundation.
