Of all the many wondrous locations where shipwrecks are found, an urban recreation area in the center of a world capital might be one of the most unexpected. But earlier this year, marine archaeologists uncovered the probable remnants of the 16th-century cargo vessel, likely the Samson, beneath Kungsträdgården park at the center of the Stockholm, Sweden, according to the Local. Though the Samson, a ship commissioned by Sweden’s Charles IX in the 1590s, has been lost to history for the better part of four centuries, the discovery suggests it may have spent quite a bit of that time conspicuously underfoot.
