There are warships from the 17th century, magnificent wooden ships 18th century cargo ships of the 19th century and warships of the Second world war.





Aboard these sunken ships, time is frozen—often it seems that the crew has just left the ship. The sunken ships have become like time capsules, an eerie mixture of serene beauty and haunting reminders of a violent drama.
