I expected there to be something in the 350' range and initially I was looking further to the southeast but this shape just stuck out. Visibility seems good in that section, the wreck is so shallow that at low tide some of it sticks out of the water so something has to be visible. Though there is ap...

There's no doubt Thuringen is there, I just wanted to see how much of it was visible from the air.

I think this is the shallow wreck of the dreadnought SMS Thuringen off Gavres, France.

I have just bought the New Vanguard/Osprey book by Gordon Williamson titled: German Battleships 1939-45. There, right on the front cover, is a computer rendered 3d picture of Bismarck with red turret tops on all main turrets and also the six secondary turrets! Looking through the book I found this p...

This is a very interesting discussion and one that has prompted me to join the forum rather than just browse. Some very good points being made, I am also of the opinion that war graves at sea should be left well alone. Photographic research missions are ok, after all there is nothing disrespectful a...
