    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    It was discovered 125 feet beneath the surface of the ocean in a portion of the Baltic Sea that had never been studied in detail prior to Ignitis Renewables’ research, the company said.

    Paulius Kalmantas, a spokesperson for Ignitis Renewables, said in a statement that Lithuanian authorities confirmed the company’s find had not previously been marked in any national databases.

    The company said additional historical and underwater archaeological research would help authorities learn more about the shipwreck, something Kalmantas said “will be valuable for the country’s scientific community and historians.”

    “While carrying out research on the Baltic Sea floor for the offshore wind power park project, we have found a previously unknown sunken ship!”

    Whether Lithuania will formally register the shipwreck in its national database of historically-significant places depends on the ongoing research, said Augustina Kurilienė, an official with the heritage department at the country’s ministry of culture.

    Archaeologist and heritage expert Elena Pranckėnaitė told the company the shipwreck can also be studied to understand more about the history of shipping in the Baltic Sea.
