On and around the wreck are dozens of massive bronze cannon , which are slightly reddish in hue , with lovely ornamentation . The bow is well preserved , while the rest of the ship becomes increasingly fragmented further astern , making for an eerie combination .
Diving around Svärdet was one of the greatest underwater experiences of my life . I had an overwhelming sense of history coming to life . The photo shows diver Jan Petersen on his way towards an iron cannon .
