A 15th-century shipwreck off the coast of Sweden may be Scandinavia 's oldest shipwreck.

It was built in the innovative "carvel" style, a design that gave it the strength to carry heavy cannons.

The wreck at Landfjärden , south of Stockholm , is one of five in the area that have been known since the 1800s .

The ship's frame still rises high above the seabed and in the stern, both the sternpost and rudder remain upright.
