#shipwrecks — Public Fediverse posts

Vrak - museum of wrecks, Stockholm. My first visit here. I really liked it. Exhibitions on an assortment of wrecks and also quite a lot of information about ongoing projects in marine archaeology as teasers for the future. Picture from exhibition about the ship (now wreck) Resande Man.

Some gold coins that were minted in Peru in 1707 may help to solve a shipwreck mystery. The coins were found in the stern of a ship some 2,000 feet below the sea. The knowledge that these coins were minted in 1707 in Peru helps to prove that the ship is the San Jose which sank off the Columbian coast in 1708. Using technology such as a remote vehicle and photogrammetry the coins were examined whilst in situ. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/these-gold-coins-may-solve-the-mystery-of-the-worlds-richest-shipwreck-confirming-its-identity-as-a-legendary-18th-century-galleon-180986856/

"Brilliantly colored #corals and #sponges blanket the #wrecks’ surfaces. Silvery schools of #baitfish dart, shimmer around the structures, chased by sleek #predators. #Sharks sometimes cruise around wrecks, likely resting or looking for prey."
