With the help of interviews from eyewitnesses to mine-sunk ships and pictures from the well-preserved wrecks, an exhibition has emerged.
"These are fantastic and often tragic stories," says Erik Bjurström.
Cultural and historical stories
The ships that have been stranded have also had a major impact on Öland's cultural heritage. The debris from rinsed timber could be used to build houses.
"It's interesting to go into history and see how poor it was," says Marianne Hedlin, an artist at the JAGS Museum.
The exhibition runs until midsummer at Drottning Öda's restaurant in Össby on southeastern Öland. From mid-June, the exhibition will be visible at JAGS Museum in Segerstad.
