Researchers are working to identify the origins of a mysterious shipwreck found recently at the bottom of the Baltic Sea off Lithuania, officials said, marking an unexpected discovery in waters where fewer than 20 shipwrecks have been officially registered.
Ignitis Renewables — a branch of the Lithuanian state-run energy company Ignitis Group that focuses on green energy — encountered the shipwreck by happenstance while surveying the seafloor in that area for a wind farm project, the company announced. The sunken ship measures about 230 feet long and 20 feet high, and yet has remained unexplored and seemingly out of sight.

Not all wrecks were registered, I am wondering if it a remnant of WWi or WWII.

That size suggests a fairly modern ship and given all the WWII activity in that area, I'd guess it's from that era. Lots of classified missions in the Baltic during WWII so unknown wouldnt be unusual.
