Abstract. Currently, at the bottom of the World Ocean there are thousands of sunken man-made objects of scientific, technical, historical, cultural, or archaeological value. The lists of objects sunk in the sea include many domestic ships and vessels that sank under various circumstances. Among them there is the submarine “Som”, which sank in 1916. The current paper has substantiated the imperative conditions for Russian-Swedish cooperation in the survey and recovery of submarine “Som” based on an analysis of the provisions of the 2001 UNESCO Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage.

Keywords: sunken vessel; object of underwater cultural heritage; international cooperation; imperative conditions.
