A wreck that is believed to be sunk in 1361 was found outside Sweden some weeks ago, I just did not think of posting it here. I googled some enligsh links for the interested..

Worlds oldest or not (thats what the article says), it is real old at least =) In those waters wood is well preserved due to the conditions there.

Thelocal.se has some info
Medieval.net has a film clip but in Swedish
X-ray mag also has an article

If it is the very ship of the Danish king at the time, it might have three barrels of gold and threasures taken from the city Visby as a fee for not destroying the town.
