När det kungliga danska flaggskeppet Gribshunden sjönk i Blekinge skärgård vid slutet av 1400-talet, tog det med sig mängder av tidsdokument i sin grav. Med hjälp av medicinsk skiktröntgen – datortomografi – har Historiska museets numismatiker Gitte Ingvardson och arkeologen Brendan Foley lyckats undersöka fynden närmare. Gribshunden anses vara världens bäst bevarade fartyg av den typ som självast
