- NewPunk, on 05/07/2008, -1/+36This is a great collection of ship wrecks. A lot of work has gone into finding these photos and collaborating them all together. Fantastic work by the blogger and thanks for the submission.
- sublingo, on 05/07/2008, -3/+36All aboard the failboats.
- iansanderson, on 05/07/2008, -1/+23the great photography alone is worth a digg.
- aflaks, on 05/07/2008, -0/+19excellent gallery, and you didnt have to scroll through 40 pages to see the whole thing!
- ryanhayn, on 05/07/2008, -0/+14When I click the pictures, I want them to get BIGGER.
- kylesherman, on 05/07/2008, -0/+11How creepy would it be to explore the interiors of those abandoned beached ships? So cool...
- IphtashuFitz, on 05/07/2008, -0/+11Some of those do an excellent example of demonstrating the power of Mother Nature. About half way down is one of the "American Star" with a split right down the center. It looks like a giant just picked it up and snapped it in half. And the size of that one that ran aground off of Newcastle, Australia is amazing. At first I thought that picture was photoshopped. It must have been quite an amazing sight for all those folks who were there when it happened.
- DermDoc, on 05/07/2008, -2/+11Would love to dive some of these!
- simplesue, on 05/07/2008, -2/+11The shot with the fishing pole to the Murmansk is cool.
- sliksta, on 05/07/2008, -0/+7Hmmm, with the price of steel I may have to haul these in and sell for scrap.
- ep53, on 05/07/2008, -1/+8Is it just me or does this one look really shopped, its probably not, its just the waves are the same size as the houses
http://lh3.ggpht.com/abramsv/SBk9RSdo2XI/AAAAAAAAP ... - ShempRider, on 05/07/2008, -0/+6Shipwrecks are fascinating. I guess part of that fascination is the realization that massive ships are sometimes no match against the power of wind and water.
- sayrah, on 05/07/2008, -0/+5It's interesting the way these ships are frozen in time. Not that they aren't gettin weathered and worn, but just that they are stuck where they are, while everything else passes by and changes.
- barf314, on 05/07/2008, -1/+6Was the Cherry Venture captained by Jawas?
- culbeda, on 05/08/2008, -0/+5What part of "uncharted desert isle" don't you understand?
- ryan899, on 05/07/2008, -4/+8Anyone else find it ironic pictures of shipwrecks are on the front page amongst all Hillary Campaign news?
- primehifi, on 05/07/2008, -0/+3Awesome set of wrecks.
- hamobu, on 05/07/2008, -1/+4would it be hard to salvage those for scrap metal?
- bpoteat, on 05/07/2008, -0/+3ironic? no. coincidental? yes.
- SR388, on 05/07/2008, -1/+4The picture with Pasha Bulker is so big, I thought the bottom half of the picture was a whole different picture. That boat is huge.
- bincoder, on 05/07/2008, -1/+4Very nice! A little heavy on the HDR, but onboard these ships would make for an excellent place to setup a tent and camp a few weeks. Far more interesting than sitting around in the forest.
- peagle, on 05/07/2008, -0/+3How would that be ironic?
- psion01, on 05/07/2008, -1/+4Where's the S.S. Minnow?
- hadamin, on 05/07/2008, -1/+3i thought this was going to be about Hillary Clinton.
- PhattyPhattMatt, on 05/07/2008, -0/+2I would be embarrassed if I was the captain of any of those boats, besides that, I would probably never have a job in the marine industry...
- woofboy111, on 05/07/2008, -0/+2I love exploring shipwrecks. I haven't come across anything as large or spectacular as what is seen here, but even the smaller sunken boats have a bit of mystery to them. This one for example:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4IA11Rg8Eo
A houseboat that sunk in the St. Johns River, filled with all of it's contents. It was very close to two boat launches and a large marina. It makes you wonder what happened on the boat to have it abandoned so fast, and not have anyone come back for it's contents that were salvageable...
The Florida keys are filled with lots of smaller shipwrecks too that can be seen from land. My guess is that most of these boats are victims of hurricanes...
http://floridaeveryoneforgot.blogspot.com/2008/04/ ... - Cornrider, on 05/08/2008, -0/+2Rusty delerict ships are way up there in my list of things I absolutely fear.
- RuthlessPirate, on 05/08/2008, -0/+2You should've seen it when it was floating!
- petebert, on 05/07/2008, -1/+3Brought 22 miles off shore and sunk there in 2006.... I'm no scientist or anything but that carrier dosnt appear to be sunk
- neems25, on 05/07/2008, -0/+2I wish they would show the treasures recovered from the containers and wrecks...would've been cool to see
- Rosco, on 05/07/2008, -0/+2There is still a good one just off the coast of South Manitou Island in Lake Michigan. Not much left, but some of it is still above water. The Francisco Morizon ran aground back in 1960 and has been there ever since. I remember swimming out to it back in high school many, many years ago. Scared the crap out of me.
- Tyrghast, on 05/07/2008, -1/+3I thought they were two separate pics, haha, didn't bother to check the link.
- nienhulm, on 05/08/2008, -0/+2I haven't been to that one, but I've been to the ones along Pictured Rocks in the U.P. and those are pretty awesome too. Michigan...definitely some great wrecks to see here.
- YodaJones, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1Somebody should take these pictures and also compile a Google satellite maps view to see where they are from above.
- magicaltrout, on 05/07/2008, -1/+2http://209.85.173.104/search?q=cache:Jo5lVbMT290J: ...
- jennabunnykins, on 05/11/2008, -0/+1ures
- roil, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1lol like Kim Kardashian or is this something I'm ignorant to?
- thedogfatherx, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1These were really cool to look at. Thanks.
- ImpoliteAndEvil, on 04/06/2009, -0/+1Beautiful disaster. I seriously didn't believe that one photo wasn't Photoshopped at first even though I just read that it wasn't. I had to do a double-take!
- skyroket, on 05/08/2008, -0/+1I did search this one on Google Maps:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=F ...
It's littered with other people wanting to get their picture seen, though. Google Earth would have the ability to turn that stuff off. - culbeda, on 05/08/2008, -0/+1That's a TRAINwreck. Common mistake.
- RockeN5, on 05/08/2008, -0/+1I would love to explore those ships.
- Iamironman, on 05/08/2008, -0/+1definitely cool stuff... and were those kegs in the back of the motorcycle picture?
- WachterZ, on 05/08/2008, -1/+2Kudos for having all pics on one page!
- flowaus, on 05/08/2008, -0/+1The Cherry venture has been rusting and sinking into the sand for years. I've got a pic of me in front of it in the early 80s when it was 20-30 feet high.
- culbeda, on 05/08/2008, -0/+1Over-saturated HDR images are all the rage. Try it. All your friends are doing it.
- ladbroke, on 05/08/2008, -0/+1I'm insanely jealous that a shipment of beer kegs and motorcycles hasn't washed up in front of my house.
- scarz99, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1Sweet shots
- PBACVB, on 05/12/2008, -0/+0You can actually dive the Oriskany in Pensacola Florida. We have footage of the 1st underwater wedding on the Oriskany in our blog.
