shipwrecks sunk beach haunting vessels
The United Nations estimates that there are more than 3 million shipwrecks on the ocean floor. These once mighty vessels both sunken and beached are a haunting reminder that nothing lasts forever. These beautiful ships used to rule the seas they traveled. Now they serve as a window into our past.

    These are awesome my friend. Great search & post. R & I were up in London on Sunday. We took this. It sits on the river Thames. One of the most powerful large light cruisers ever built, HMS Belfast is now the only surviving vessel of her type to have seen active service during World War II. Serving Britain for 32 years, she played an important role in both World War II and the Korean War, as well as performing peacekeeping duties throughout the 1950s and 1960s. Saved from destruction in 1971, HMS Belfast is now part of the Imperial War Museum and is the first ship to be preserved for the nation since Nelson’s Victory. I know not quite related to your post but....

      as a professional mariner for over 40 years now, this song still touches me today as much as it did when it came out in 1975. it is much more than another song in a performers gig to me. it captues and evokes feelings and emotions that any old sea dog have had after weathering some of the worse that mother nature can dish out to those that have choosen to sail upon her. sorry eco, i'm not trying to highjack your post or make it about this song. i'm just pointing out that with over 3 million shipwrecks around the world, there's a huge amount of history and human drama behind them all that tends to get overlooked. great post my friend... and smooth sailing :)...

        As a person whos been on a boat only a handful of times, I can assure you that one need not be a mariner to appreciate that song. Been an all time favorite since the first time I heard that otherworldly pedal steel, also in 1975. Not many songs/artists can put you in the middle of a situation like this one does. R.I.P. 29.

    Freighter shipwreck, 'Cherry Venture', was blown ashore and wrecked on Teewah Beach during a cyclone in 1973. Queensland, Australia. Soon to be removed.

    Perhaps the most famous shipwreck in Europe, the freighter washed up in a bay on the Greek Island of Zante. I spent a wonderful afternoon sunbathing beside it in the 90's.
