Anyone else here a fan of studying wrecked, sunken, or derelict ships? I know both Nate and I have been for quite some time.
To get us started, I'll point out my favorite shipwreck of them all, the USS American Star
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/4550beached.jpg)
American Star was an ocean liner than became beached off shore, where it stayed standing upright for about fifteen years before breaking apart and sinking.

The American Stars sister ship is still in existence

That is why I have whiskey in a jar.

There's not too many photos of this one since the ship is rotted out, but I can post a picture of a replica placed underwater as well as an old painting of the ship from its glory days.

The Queen Anne's Revenge, the pirate flagship of Edward Teach, known commonly as Blackbeard. Sunken off the coast of Charleston, SC. Folly Beach, NC, used to be a port of call for this infamous vessel.

That is such a badass name for a boat.

He's way too busy getting paid.

Lol. Just playing around.
I don't know any significant shipwrecks, but one of my favorite ships would be one of these:

A Spanish Treasure Galleon.
Being a large fan of Sid Meier games, I usually play Sid Meier's Pirates whenever I get bored. Spanish Treasure Galleons are arguably one of the biggest ships in the game next to a War Galleon/East Indiaman, and they're a fun target to go for due to having somewhere between 20-30 cannons on either side.

Ooh, I know that one- I must say, it's quite amazing how it stayed standing upright for all those years.
Two wrecks that I would quite like to visit sometime would be those of the Titanic, and the Bismarck.

I actually heard that the Titanic is dissolving, and will be gone some time in the next 20 years :(

That will be a sad day for me.

I know it's crazy for us to agree on something, but it'd be a sad day indeed...I've always found it to be a fascinating ship.
