Very interesting article - I was very surprised about the 340 year old cheese ......

...and the smell of this cheese is not part of the exhibition

Very enjoyable read. How on earth did they manage, in the 1680s, to recover guns from a wreck 85 feet down? No diving suits then!

They had diving bells. This surprised me when I visited the Wasa museum, it described how these were used (open bottom or "wet" bells). I don't know how they handled them, but they were in use in the mid-17th century.
