12 Famous Shipwrecks That You Can Still Visit

There are an estimated three million undiscovered shipwrecks scattered on the oceans' floor across the world, some of which are thousands of years old. A large number of shipwrecks are historically significant and protected under UNESCO as underwater cultural heritage.

Many are abandoned and remain either submerged or grounded near beaches, sometimes gracefully, sometimes not, rotting under the elements of nature. Some of them have turned into tourist attractions because of the many photographic opportunities they offer.
