Telemark Historic Waterway, Norway |
Between 2006 and 2009 while working in the historic lakes, rivers, canals and fjords of the Telemark Waterway in south-central Norway, Fredrik Soreide from ProMare and Pål Nymoen from the Norwegian Maritime Museum have located more than a dozen historic shipwrecks in a remarkable state of preservation which range in age from the Medieval/Viking Age to the mid-nineteenth century. The team will return to the area in the summer of 2010 to continue exploring the waterway for more shipwrecks and evidence of historic and ancient watercraft and commerce. |
