Interesting article by the BBC, on how many wrecks there are in the world, and what the implications are for their future as more are found.

www.bbc.com

How many shipwrecks are there in the world's oceans?

This week UNESCO announced it has found three new shipwrecks, including two that are thousands of years old. But just how many more are out there?

About 2/3s of those wrecks lie amongst the coastal waters.
