Too bad, if correct tips of envy and resentment are evaluated with a thumbs down. The info is correct. The cog is a replica and can be visited.

The Poeler Kogge "Wissemara", the largest existing replica of a medieval cog in Europe, has been newly created with great popularity and diverse public interest.
In 1997, the largest shipwreck of the Hanseatic period to date was discovered in Wismar Bay off Timmendorf on the island of Poel. It is a special variant of a cog that was preserved in very good condition. The successful salvage of the wreck in 1999 and the subsequent investigations showed that the ship was built around 1354 from felled pine wood. The hull of the ship that sank off the island of Poel showed clear parallels to the ships of the Vikings and Slavs in individual structural elements, so that it was a special form of cog developed for the Baltic Sea - i.e. as proof of the existence of a "Baltic cog". can be rated. The ship was 31 m long and had a loading capacity of more than 200 tons. Ships of this capacity were the basis for the national transport of bulk goods that was so typical of the Hanseatic period and thus the basis for the economic power and the rise of the Hanseatic cities on the Baltic and North Seas.
