I was reading somewhere that there is 12 Billion dollars worth of undiscovered treasure in our oceans. Very interesting!
Interesting juxtaposition. Since it's undiscovered, it's worthless. In order to be worth anything it has to be salvaged, put up for sale and attract some kind of material value. Until then it's just decor for lots of little fishes to look at.

Here you go. Some photos of the Torrey Canyon before, during and after being bombed by the RAF and Fleet Air Arm in an attempt to burn off the oil which was washing up on Cornish beaches:, having spent the first early part of my childhood in Cornwall , anyone got any of the Torrey Canyon etc ?

Interesting, on it's way to be scrapped at Alang where all but one of the others ended up (Mikhail Kutuzov is a museum ship) it ran aground there in 1994 and was just left. A post-WWII heavy cruiser class of 13 ships, built after their time and in service well into the 1980s.If you have ever seen the film about legendary WWII frogman Lionel "Buster" Crabb called The Silent Enemy, he disappeared in mysterious circumstances in 1961 whilst diving around one of these ships.
