The recent discovery of the ship Enigheden has uncovered new details regarding its fate during the war, previously believed to have been sunk by the Swedish navy. Karl-Oskar Erlandsson, an antiquarian with the County Administrative Board of Kalmar, explains that information extracted from Danish logbooks indicates a different narrative altogether. This revelation sheds light on the complexities of maritime engagements during this historical conflict and calls for a reevaluation of previously held assumptions about the event.

Despite the cessation of hostilities benefiting the Swedish forces, the incident did not come without losses. Reports indicate that two Danish officers lost their lives due to Swedish gunfire, and additional casualties among common sailors are plausible, although such occurrences were not formally documented. This historical context emphasizes the human cost associated with naval battles, and the newly uncovered information adds a layer of poignancy to the legacy of the ship Enigheden.

The ship was discovered in 2024 by divers Micko Björk and Erik Håkansson, located just east of the fortified island of Grimskär, about a kilometer off the coast of Kalmar Castle. Its shallow resting place raises concerns about potential looting, prompting its registration in the Cultural Heritage Register for oversight and preservation. In conjunction with the County Administrative Board, a marine archaeological assessment has been conducted on Enigheden and several other wrecks in Kalmarsund, aiming to ensure their protection and historical significance are maintained.
