The remains of a 17th- or 18th-century ship have been discovered on the German island of Norderney

During the installation of electrical cables on the German island of Norderney in the North Sea, construction workers discovered the remains of a wooden ship approximately 15 meters long and 5 meters wide. Archaeologists believe the vessel dates back to the 17th or 18th century and was likely Dutch. The discovery was made as part of a project to harness marine energy, and work was temporarily halted due to the find. Archaeologist Sonja König noted that few shipwrecks from this period have been documented along the coast of Lower Saxony. The ship's remains have already been removed from the site, and archaeologists suspect additional remnants may be buried beneath the sand, though they will not conduct further excavations.
