Ship Wrecks

SHIP WRECKS

Ship wrecks are the hidden treasures and undiscovered histories that lie beneath a bed of water. Most ship wrecks dissapear for years and years from accidents such as storms, mechanical mistakes, crashes etc. We presume that there are still many ship wrecks underwater. This is our understanding of ship wrecks.

ACCORDING TO WIKIPEDIA…

A shipwreck or sunken ship can refer to the remains of a wrecked ship or to the event that caused the wreck, such as the striking of something that causes the ship to sink, the stranding of the ship on rocks, land or shoal, or the destruction of the ship at sea by violent weather. There are more than 3 million shipwrecks littering the ocean floor, the United Nations estimates.
