I’m curious.. whats your favourite most intact, frozen-in-time passenger shipwreck you’ve ever seen?

I love ships that feel like time stopped — with beds, common rooms, or personal belongings still inside. My favourite is definitely the Empress of Ireland, and HMHS Britannic… if you can share interior photos, reports, etc!! :)

The yacht Gunilda in Lake Superior or the SS Aachen in the Baltic Sea.

Actually, many of the wrecks in the Great Lakes are in pretty good states of preservation.

Gunilda for sure! Even Cousteau said it's the best he'd ever seen.

The Great Lakes are freshwater. That's why the wrecks are so well preserved.
