According to rough estimates of the United Nations, there are more than 3 million shipwrecked ships in the world. These once majestic vessels, which today lie at the bottom of the sea or are located on the coast, are a reminder that nothing in our world lasts forever. Once these ships plied the seas, and now they serve as a sad reminder of the days gone by.
