Some were fabled vessels that have fascinated people for generations, like Endurance, Ernest Shackleton’s ship that sank in the Antarctic in 1915.
No matter their place in history, more shipwrecks are being found these days than ever before, according to those who work in the rarefied world of deep-sea exploration.
He added: “We’re in a transitional phase where the true period of deep-sea and ocean exploration in general is truly beginning.”So what’s behind the increase?
Shipwreck hunters are also looking for wrecks for their historical value, rather than for sunken treasure.
And climate change has intensified storms and beach erosion, exposing shipwrecks in shallow water.
