Divers inspect the wreck of HSwMS Svärdet....During the Scanian War she fought in the Battle of Öland. She was surrounded early in the battle, and fought for two hours until her main mast was destroyed and the ship surrendered. Before the surrounding enemies could board Svärdet, a Dutch fireship accidentally set her ablaze. The fire eventually reached her gunpowder store, which set off an explosion that sank the ship. Only about 50 of a crew of nearly 650 men survived. On November 15th 2011, it was announced that her wreck had been found by divers off the island coast of Öland.
