Could a few warships from the 18th century (1701-1799) be preserved very well at the bottom of the sea
reddit:r/Warships · 2026-04-30 18:28:09
For example, the Swedish ship that sank shortly after being launched ( I know that the pollution of the harbor and the type of seabed soil played a major part in its preservation) is perfectly preserved and structurally sound enough to be brought back to the surface. I am hopeful that a few might exist and possibly be able to bring back to the surface. Even though chances are near zero, I would love to see the crafts

"Guarding" wind farm cable (old fisher boats as standby safety vessels)
reddit:r/maritime · 2026-04-21 09:43:53
There is this cable laying vessel laying cables near the hornsea3 wind farm. Behind it is a row of guard vessels, which look to be old fishing boats. What exactly are the guarding? Are they protecting the cable? Because I would think it has sunk to the bottom so it would be quite safe? submitted by /u/remakker [link] [comments]
