Amazing. Where were you when you took this picture. Where were you standing?

Oh my gosh these are amazing pictures. I've always been interested in sunken ships and abandoned ships. Im really interested in the 18th century ships. Seeing pictures of 18th century ships that have been found even if it is just the bottom is so cool. Im really into the 18th century because of pirates too.^_^

Liam, stop talking about my sister in law!

who in the right mind would leave an engine laying there

In the deep water marine trade this is a smal engine. Some larger engines have as much as 7000(and more) HP per cylinder.

abosolutly discusting they look like theyve been bomed i wouldnt have it if i was paid

the ship looks rusty id love to go there on a different ship

would have loved to have seen this ship in its hey day , remarkable photo :) x

It's not a barge.

Maybe not. The water can get in where the propeller shaft goes through the hull when maintainence stops...

you can see the rivets

I wonder if any other of the ships were salvaged?

That's an Atlas Superior. The 8 cylinder model put out 675 HP at 325 RPM, I believe. With the turbo and whatnot hanging off the front end, they're about 25 feet long. Impressive, huh?

you can almost tell how old it is look closely you can see rivets

I think thats a barge
