Researchers have records about sailing vessels from the 17th century but sadly not about those built just a century earlier. Hence, according to Johan Rönnby who is studying the 197-feet shipwreck, this study is a whole new chapter in the course of warship technology. The Mars stayed underwater for almost five centuries and despite that, many of its cannons were discovered in unexpectedly fine condition. Rönnby marks 16th century as an important period because that’s when the Mars and other similar galleons date back to. Were there more such galleons?
