Did you know that it's estimated that there are around 3 million unrecovered shipwrecks scattered across the ocean floor? For as long as man has taken to the sea, many vessels have shared the same tragic fate; doomed to a life in the abyssal depths of the blue. But what happens to these ships when they are left to the sands of time? How is it that some ships - such as the Swedish warship Vasa - are recovered intact after centuries underwater, while others - like Blackbeard's ill-fated Queen Anne's Revenge - succumb to the whims of the sea?
