Off Lindau in Lake Constance, underwater archaeologists have discovered wooden parts of a shipwreck that are apparently much older than first assumed.
"The tip came from a recreational diver who knows the area very well. He had already suspected that it might be a wreck," says archaeological research diver Prof. Dr Tobias Pflederer when asked by Euronews. Pflederer is a cardiologist in Kaufbeuren and a professor at the University of Erlangen, and also honorary president of the Bavarian Society for Underwater Archaeology (BGfU).
