It’s hard to imagine that sunken ships don’t just disappear into some infinite ocean dimension, never to be seen again. But the ocean does have a bottom, and these ships have come to rest on it, ready to be explored by submersibles or extremely brave scuba divers.

Seriously, a shipwreck is like the underwater equivalent of a haunted house, except that it could have a shark in it. Who in their right mind is going thousands of feet underwater to snap pics of them?

Well, whoever it is, we need to thank them, because these photos of sunken ships are hauntingly beautiful. Zip into your wetsuit and check them out, but keep your head on a swivel. There are monsters in the murky depths…
