Shipwreck Blog: Unknown, Lake Baikal, Siberia

An unidentified shipwreck that is estimated at 100 years old has been found in Lake Baikal, Siberia.

Lake Baikal is the world's oldest and deepest freshwater lake, holds approximately 20% of the world's freshwater.

The shipwreck, judging by the photograph attached to the article, is in a remarkable state of preservation. It should be noted that shipwrecks in cold climates and especially in fresh water don't deteriorate as fast as those in warmer climates.
