Famous Shipwrecks And The Stories Behind Them
And so, shipwreck hunters take to the lake with sidescan sonar rigs, searching the bottom for boat-like shapes. One of the most famous ships was found at the bottom of Lake Michigan in 1989. First, there's the idea of sunken treasure, which has a pretty universal appeal in any culture that admires shiny things . Then, there's the uber-creepiness of seeing the remains of a great ship languishing at the bottom of the ocean, covered with algae and "rusticles," a once-mighty vessel that's now a home for crabs and fish. When there are no survivors to tell the stories of these shipwrecks, eventually those lost ships become so mysterious and weird and creepy that they attain a sort of legendary status. Ships arriving in Liverpool after making trans-Atlantic voyages had come with warnings that the shipping lanes had become packed with ice.

Holding on to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and so have suffered shipwreck with regard to the faith. Named for the triangular shape of around 500,000 square miles of ocean between Miami, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico, the Bermuda Triangle is one of the most notorious sea legends.
But in 2022, an international team of marine archaeologists, explorers and scientists located the Endurance at the bottom of the Weddell Sea, approximately four miles south of the position originally recorded when Endurance sank. One of the most famous shipwrecks is that of the SS Andrea Doria. The ship collided in 1956 with the Stockholm out of Sweden resulting in the death of 46 passengers and crew members on the Andrea and 5 on the Stockholm. It is a sought-after diving destination but one that is considered dangerous and only for those with extensive experience. The ship lies 240-feet down and has extensive damage and deterioration but it still draws divers intrigued by the history, the mystery, and the possibility of finding an artifact or two.
"A teenage girl and her 10-ish-year-old brother had a serious argument on an open deck at night. She was much bigger than him. She picked him up by his throat and held him over the side of the ship." "Only one I have witnessed were two fires in the engine rooms. Scary thought but because of the nature of the ships, normal workers are picked to be firefighter-trained." "As soon as the family got to their room, he jumped off his balcony . They fished him out and the family got kicked off the ship." "Water pipe burst in a store room and soaked ALL of the spare toilet paper. This was on day 2 of a 14-day voyage to Antarctica." "The ship was considering going into quarantine at sea but luckily, we didn't."

However, French helicopters chased down one vehicle carrying at least three confirmed pirates, and after shooting out the engine, the Somalis were taken into custody. Unfortunately, these three only possessed a fraction of the ransom money.
The ship sank in a matter of minutes but a steward, Poon Lim, managed to grab a life vest before jumping overboard. Lim would have the good luck of encountering a small wooden raft stocked with some supplies, including a biscuit tin, a flashlight, a jug of water, and a flashlight. But once those resources were depleted Lim had to get creative to survive. He collected rainwater for potable drinking water, a wire from the flashlight became a fishing hook, and a piece of the biscuit tin became a knife he used to cut open the fish that he caught.
Since the recovery could be safely done only by an expert team during an unusually low tide, they enlisted SEARCH Inc., a cultural resource management firm, to coordinate the mission. The project would be funded in part by a grant from the National Geographic Society. Recovery team members take a pause during a sunny moment on the Oregon coast.
Antonio Muñoz says he first stumbled upon the maritime mystery as a boy herding cattle across the basin with vaqueros, or cowboys. But his companions wouldn’t let him near the ship, not even when several chests caught his eye. There is man now living in the Mexicali Valley, about 50 miles northeast of Laguna www.youtube.com/watch?v=loKp3CgfpBU Salada, who says he saw a ship buried in the lakebed. While the type of wood can be a determining factor, ships are expected to be "critter-resistant" to marine worms or termites, Creasman says. It's "not uncommon" for entire vessels to last 500 years – in Egypt, buried ships dating back to around 2700 B.C.
The Aida, which served as a transport for Egyptian troops, went to its watery grave in 1957 after unsuccessfully securing its mooring. The Numidia was an English freighter that met its fate in 1901. Both have sections that are intact providing an interesting dive. The Numidia is approximately 260-feet down and the Aida 100-to 200-feet beneath the surface. The former drug-smuggling ship may not have gone up in smoke but it paid the price for its running when it was towed after experiencing technical difficulties.
The building is also known for its electronic news ticker—popularly known as "The Zipper"—where headlines crawl around the outside of the building. It is still in use, but has been operated by Dow Jones & Company since 1995. After nine years in its Times Square tower, the newspaper had an annex built at 229 West 43rd Street.
