    Default Wrecks everywhere?

    We have so many wrecks in the English Channel that we don't even have to dive some of them?

    I thought this was a really cool, if old, image from my home town (until I moved a few years ago ):-

    very cool picture,
    I noticed on charts I've seen over there that there are probably hundreds if not thousands of wrecks there, simply amazing.

    The Channel is a very busy sea route, can have atrocious weather and was 'quite busy', despite its small size, during WW2. I suppose it was bound to end up with a few wrecks.

    I'll bet that was some sight. I can't believe more wasn't done to preserve it. Different times, I guess.
