Divers have discovered the oldest Swedish cog ship in Bohuslän province, and one of the oldest cog shipwrecks ever found European waters. The shipwreck of the Swedish cog ship was found off the coast of the island of Dyngö, which is located off the coast of Fjällbacka, a historic fishing village and popular tourist resort on the coast of western Sweden.
