Russian gun sloop

About 50 metres north of the wreck of frigate Saint Nicholas is the wreck of a smaller wooden vessel. It lies upside down at the bottom of the sea. It may be the wreck of a Russian gun sloop sunk during the Second Battle of Svensksund. The wrecks name or more specific background is unknown.
