[Regia-NA] ship

[Frojel Gotlandica]

Worst part is they are not really new finds, the archaeologists know 
where the ships lay but have to wait on conservation
funding before they can excavate. It costs a lot of money to excavate 
and conserve a whole ships timbers.
 It always comes down to MONEY. So much information..... so little money.
