Yup

And sadly, I invested in a company called Subsea Resources who wanted to recover some of it laugh

Never mind hey!

Arguably not a shipwreck, but a drifting boat mid-Atlantic with (probably) associated remains still on board.

Sweet baby Jeeezus! How big is their hacksaw?!
Appears to have not only cut right through the entire ship but even through an unfortuantely placed people-carrier/4x4. Impressive stuff.

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:

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.
