The Hunt for the Forts of New Sweden
Author(s): Craig Lukezic
Year: 2013
Summary
The remains of Fort Elfsborg may be in a modern marshland, and the remains of Fort Christina may lie underneath 150 years worth of heavy industrial occupation.

This paper is an update in the ongoing search for both structures, and the special challenges the severla teams have encountered.
