The so-called Dalarö-wreck was discovered by divers in 2003. The wreck was unusually well preserved and was kept a secret to the public until 2007. In the meantime the museum did a comprehensive documentation of the wreck. This is one of the reasons why they are able to say with certainty that the wreck has been disturbed and looted. There is a general prohobitation for diving on the wreck. This didn't deter divers from looting the wreck sometime between October 2007 and April 2008.
