Tragically, some of the most remarkable
ocean liners ever built have gone down in history not for their impressive structure, but because
they sank with the loss of hundreds of lives. It is quite haunting, and yet eerily fascinating, to see such mighty ships now
permanently consigned to the bottom of the ocean.
This
infographic from the East Fremantle Yacht Club highlights some of the
most famous shipwrecks in history, including the
Titanic in 1912, a disaster which has been imprinted onto modern consciousness ever since the James Cameron-directed film of the same name was released in the late 1990s.
These shipwrecks present a poignant reminder of human casualties, although they also provide some compelling historical research for diving enthusiasts to explore these once-mighty structures up close.
