It's the Baltic
Low saline content, northern end cool as well. Astonishing condition of wooden and metal artifacts. Back in the early days of this board, I found a site which had photos of a Lancaster in the Ostsee (Baltic). It looked like someone had picked it up, and dropped it in a large sandy bottomed pool. Yes there was Marine growth, but the condition of the aircraft was good. Even the roundels were clearly visible.
There is a Halifax and a Lancaster near the Grosser Belt Bridge , a recent discovery. The Germans have had a survey ship up there last year, and it found at least 2 "Large Aircraft"
