15. Shipwreck in the Black Sea
Number 15 on our list is the Shipwreck in the Black sea. The world’s oldest intact shipwreck was discovered in the Black Sea 50 miles off the coast of Bulgaria. Archaeologists found the 75-foot ship 1.24 miles below the surface, where it is thought to have been situated for over 2,400 years. The lack of oxygen at the ship’s depth is thought to have kept it in such excellent condition. It stunned the researchers to find the merchant vessel closely resembled in design a ship that decorated ancient Greek wine vases. The 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Baron Gautsch, an Austro-Hungarian steamboat that sank in the northern Croatian Adriatic Sea, was marked on August 13, 2014. The ship, originally used to service passenger lines, had been leased by the Austro-Hungarian Army following the July 1914 outbreak of World War I to transport troops, only to run into a minefield off the Brijuni islands less than a month later. Estimates say between 240 and 390 people perished in the sinking, making it one of the biggest losses of life in World War I. Today, the shipwreck lies at a depth of 131 feet off the coast of Rovinj and is said to be the most popular site for divers in the Adriatic.
14. A French Sailor’s Skeletal Remains
Number 14 on our list is the skeleton of a French sailor. The skeletal remains of an unknown
French sailor sit in the wreck’s hull of French explorer La Salle’s The Belle ship in the Gulf of
Mexico. Discovered on Halloween in 1996, the remains of The Belle had been underwater for 310 years before being discovered by marine archaeologists. The ship lies 15 miles offshore, 125 miles southwest of Houston. A cofferdam allowed archaeologists to expose the sea floor for research. The Belle was one of four ships belonging to the French explorer. It carried 300 settlers who were supposed to colonize the Gulf Coast area, but incorrect maps led the ships hundreds of miles astray to the coast of Texas. They abandoned the Belle in 1686 after storms caused it to sink in Matagorda Bay. I don’t know about you, but finding a skeleton at the bottom of the sea would scare the living daylights out of me.
