Secret Spot: Tobias Enge Shipwreck
Tobias Enge Shipwreck
Explore the world beneath the Baltic Sea at the Tobias Enge shipwreck.
Viktor Lyagushkin
The Baltic Sea is far from hospitable: Cold and gloomy, its murky waters are often subjected to storms that cause hazardous swells. Gogland island lies in the east of the hostile sea, and its cape provides some protection from the elements — though a number of ships rest on its seafloor. Underwater archeologists exploring the cape identified this fragmented shipwreck as the Russian Navy galiot Tobias Enge, which crashed near Gogland on a stormy night in 1771. Researchers believe the ship went down after a failed attempt to round the cape of the island, leaving no survivors of the 45-person crew.
