After many centuries, finally in 2011, Lungren and team discovered parts of the battleship, near the coast of a Swedish Island, Öland. It was tilted on its right and rested 246 feet below the water level. What caused the preservation of the Mars? Low levels of sediment, brackish water, slow currents, and absence of a mollusk called shipworm. Shipworm greatly causes the decay of wood. Its absence has been very favorable in the preservation of ship. However, there are many important facts yet to be discovered.
