Yes

No

It’s good that the shipwreck is still there. Maybe the rust is not so strong as to destroy the metal.
If only this ship could talk, the stories it could tell. Great photo op.
I always wonder about the same things.
Titanic comes to mind – a lovely movie
Especially for you, Grace here is a special piece of my favorite movie, Titanic: https://youtu.be/ezcvpLIyifU
Thanks. What a great movie that was. Then there was Poseidon Adventure – remember?
Yep, I remember, Shelley Winters’s epic swim and a younger Gene Hackman, https://youtu.be/dd03qev59Jo
I had to answer No – due to complete lack of sea for miles in all directions from the middle of England!
I was living on our Eastcoast and was honored to do lots of wreck diving as a youngster. I have also moved to the middle of South-Africa, Johannesburg. Thank you for commenting, Indexer.
That shipwreck is amazing. There are shipwrecks not on the beach where I live, but under the sea. Although, even today people are still finding bombs which have not gone off from the war.
Are you somewhere on the English channel, Coffee Queen?
There are wrecks in the Chesapeake Bay, we ended up getting an ROV to see them. (ROV remotely operated vehicle- allows you to see underwater!)
Astounding! Doc, how I would love to experience such a trip, thanks for sharing that with all of us. Here is some footage of an ROV near a famous wreck:

we have really had a chance to explore wrecks in detail most of our video is learning how to drive the ROV
