A dozen centuries-old shipwrecks, some of them unusually well-preserved, have been found in the Baltic by a gas company building an underwater pipeline between Russia and Germany. The oldest wreck probably dates back to medieval times and could be up to 800 years old, while the others are likely from the 17th to 19th centuries, experts said.<br/><br/>Credity: AP Photo/Nord Stream, Ho<br/><img src="http://www.mby.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/18/2010/03/PA_8501327.jpg"><h2>Christine Bleakley</h2><strong>Friday, 12 March 2010</strong><br/><br/>The One Show presenter Christine Bleakley leaves Dover at the start of her challenge to water-ski across the English Channel for Sport Relief. <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/sportrelief/news/120310_bleakley.shtml" target="_">Bleakley fell off eight times</a> during the 100-minute crossing, and was said to be "elated" on her arrival in France.<br/><br/>Credit: Gareth Fuller/PA Wire<img src="http://www.mby.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/18/2010/03/PA_8500711.jpg"><h2>Japanese whalers</h2><strong>Friday, 12 March 2010<br/></strong><br/>The <em>Shonan Maru No 2</em> enters Tokyo Bay carrying Kiwi anti-whaling activist Pete Bethune. <a href="http://www.mbmclub.com/news/442845/ady-gil-skipper-in-custody-on-japanese-whaling-ship">Bethune boarded the Japanese whaling ship under the cover of darkness</a> to attempt a citizen's arrest on its captain following the <a href="http://www.mbmclub.com/news/437199/earthrace-powerboat-sliced-in-two-in-antarctic-clash">sinking of his round-the-world trimaran, <em>Ady Gil</em>, in January</a>.
