S:t Michel 1747

The beautifully illustrated book S:t Michel 1747 introduces one of the most famous wrecks found in Finnish waters. The wreck was found on the south coast of Finland in the 1950s and based on archival research and findings it was recognised as the galliot St. Michel, which had been sailing under Russian flag from Amsterdam to St. Petersburg in 1747.

The book offers information on the ship's cargo, e.g. unique snuffboxes, fine pocket watches and magnificent porcelain from Meissen. The beautiful photos show the intricate details of the items found in the wreck.
