History of Gulf of Finland 3/5 - Wreck of the St. Mikael

In the autumn of 1747, the three-masted galliot St Mikael was sailing from Amsterdam to St Petersburg under the command of Captain Carl P. Amiel,
when the voyage of the ship came to a sudden stop in the waters off the southwestern coast of Finland.
There are no records of the accident, and the wreck of the St Mikael was found by chance more than 200 years later.
The wreck was discovered off the island of Borstö in the 1950s, but the identity of the ship remained unknown for almost two decades.
