Were Dutch art masters paintings found intact on the recovered wreckage of Frau Maria sunk 1771, Baltic Sea?
“The ship was in good condition when it was discovered, but only six objects from the deck of the ship have been salvaged. The cargo holds have not been disturbed, so the condition of any art on board remains unknown. The Finnish National Board of Antiquities is responsible for the ship and all recovery efforts.” “Vrouw Maria” : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vrouw_Maria “Only three finds were lifted from the ship last summer: a metal ingot, an ordinary 1800-century clay pipe made in Gouda, and a lacquer seal, giving the initials of a textile manufacturer in Leyden, the Netherlands. These are perhaps not very exciting finds as might be expected, since they we re only lying around on the deck.
